You are deep into Spark in the Dark, your torch is flickering out, you are bleeding from a trap, and your PC crashes right as you enter a new dungeon level. When you relaunch, Steam Cloud accidentally overwrites your local save with an older version, or worse, deletes the character entirely. It is a dungeon crawler&#8217;s worst nightmare. I specifically wrote this guide because Unity engine save management can be tricky. Even if you don&#8217;t plan on using memory trainers, please back up your <code>SaveGames<\/code> folder manually right now. Do not let hours of careful looting vanish in an instant.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; color: #94a3b8; font-weight: bold; text-align: right;\">\u2014 Catherine Hu, Senior PC Modding Specialist at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xmodhub.com\/en\/?cid=100159\">XMODhub<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"pc-save\" style=\"background: linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(59, 130, 246, 0.15) 0%, transparent 100%); border-left: 4px solid #3b82f6; padding: 12px 20px; color: #f8fafc; font-size: 1.5rem; border-radius: 0 12px 12px 0; margin-top: 50px; margin-bottom: 25px; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.5px;\">Windows PC Save File Location (Steam &amp; Epic Games)<\/h2>\n<div style=\"background: rgba(59, 130, 246, 0.05); padding: 15px 20px; border-radius: 8px; border-left: 3px solid #3b82f6; margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0; color: #93c5fd;\"><strong style=\"color: #60a5fa;\">(Quick Answer:<\/strong> Press <code>Win + R<\/code>, type <code>%LOCALAPPDATA%Low<\/code>, and look for the Stellar Fish folder.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">For players who purchased the game on Steam or other PC storefronts, the save files are generated by the Unity Engine and are generally located in the hidden Windows AppData LocalLow directory.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24054\" src=\"https:\/\/www.xmodhub.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Spark-in-the-Dark-gameplay.webp\" alt=\"Spark in the Dark gameplay\" width=\"1919\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.xmodhub.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Spark-in-the-Dark-gameplay.webp 1919w, https:\/\/www.xmodhub.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Spark-in-the-Dark-gameplay-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.xmodhub.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Spark-in-the-Dark-gameplay-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.xmodhub.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Spark-in-the-Dark-gameplay-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.xmodhub.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Spark-in-the-Dark-gameplay-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.xmodhub.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Spark-in-the-Dark-gameplay-18x10.webp 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1919px) 100vw, 1919px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; color: #f8fafc; font-weight: 600;\">The exact file path is:<\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #0f172a; padding: 15px 20px; border-radius: 8px; border: 1px dashed #3b82f6; margin-bottom: 25px; font-family: monospace; color: #38bdf8; font-size: 1rem; word-break: break-all;\">C:\\Users\\YourUsername\\AppData\\LocalLow\\Stellar Fish\\Spark in the Dark\\Saves<\/div>\n<h3 style=\"color: #93c5fd; font-size: 1.1rem; margin-bottom: 15px;\">How to navigate there quickly:<\/h3>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; gap: 15px; margin-bottom: 30px;\">\n<div style=\"display: flex; align-items: flex-start; background: #111827; padding: 15px 20px; border-radius: 8px; border: 1px solid #1e293b;\"><span style=\"color: #3b82f6; margin-right: 15px; font-size: 1.3rem; line-height: 1;\">\u27a4<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; color: #e2e8f0;\">Press the <strong style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Windows Key + R<\/strong> to open the Run dialog box.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; align-items: flex-start; background: #111827; padding: 15px 20px; border-radius: 8px; border: 1px solid #1e293b;\"><span style=\"color: #3b82f6; margin-right: 15px; font-size: 1.3rem; line-height: 1;\">\u27a4<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; color: #e2e8f0;\">Type <code style=\"color: #60a5fa; background: rgba(59, 130, 246, 0.1); padding: 2px 6px; border-radius: 4px;\">%localamppdatalow%<\/code> and press Enter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; align-items: flex-start; background: #111827; padding: 15px 20px; border-radius: 8px; border: 1px solid #1e293b;\"><span style=\"color: #3b82f6; margin-right: 15px; font-size: 1.3rem; line-height: 1;\">\u27a4<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; color: #e2e8f0;\">Scroll down and open the folder named <strong style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Stellar Fish<\/strong>, then open the <strong style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Spark in the Dark<\/strong> folder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; align-items: flex-start; background: #111827; padding: 15px 20px; border-radius: 8px; border: 1px solid #1e293b;\"><span style=\"color: #3b82f6; margin-right: 15px; font-size: 1.3rem; line-height: 1;\">\u27a4<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; color: #e2e8f0;\">Open the <strong style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Saves<\/strong> folder.
