There is nothing worse than sinking 20 hours into MOUSE: P.I. For Hire, upgrading Jack Pepper’s entire arsenal, only to lose your progress to a corrupted save file, a bad mod, or a Steam Cloud sync error right before the final boss fight in Mouseburg.
Whether you want to manually back up your rubber-hose playthrough, transfer your detective save data to a new PC, or modify the Unity config files to uncap your frame rate, you first need to know exactly where the game stores its data on your hard drive.
Below are the exact, verified Unity file paths for MOUSE: P.I. For Hire across Steam, Epic Games, Xbox Game Pass, and Steam Deck, along with the safest way to automate your save backups.
Expert Note: The Cloud Sync Danger
“We have all been there. You are deep into the criminal underworld of MOUSE: P.I. For Hire, just about to face the Robo-Betty boss, and your PC crashes. When you relaunch, Steam Cloud accidentally overwrites your local save with an older version from yesterday. It is a gamer’s worst nightmare. I specifically wrote this guide because Unity engine save management can be tricky. Even if you don’t plan on using trainers or mods, please back up your SaveGames folder manually right now. Don’t learn this lesson the hard way.”
Windows PC Save File Location (Steam & Epic Games)
(Quick Answer: Press Win + R, type %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow, and look for the FumiGames folder.)
For players who purchased the game on Steam, Epic Games Store, or GOG, the save files are generally located in the hidden Windows AppData LocalLow directory, which is standard for Unity titles.
C:\Users\YOUR-USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\FumiGames\Mouse\How to navigate there quickly:
- 1. Press the Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog box.
- 2. Тип
%appdata%and press Enter to open the Roaming folder. - 3. Click “AppData” in the address bar at the top to go back one level, then open the LocalLow folder.
- 4. Scroll down and open the folder named FumiGames, then Mouse. Your save files are located here.
Xbox Game Pass / Microsoft Store Save Location
If you are playing MOUSE: P.I. For Hire via PC Game Pass, Microsoft encrypts the save data and stores it in a completely different, highly protected system folder.
C:\Users\YOUR-USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\FumiGames.Mouse_wgs\Inside the wgs (Windows Game Saves) folder, you will see folders with long alphanumeric strings. These are your encrypted save files. Backing these up manually is incredibly difficult because the file names are randomized. (See the XMODhub Save Manager section below for an easier Game Pass solution).
Where to Find the MOUSE: P.I. For Hire Config File (.ini)
If you are trying to manually tweak graphics settings that are missing from the in-game display menu (such as disabling the retro CRT filter effect, forcing V-Sync off, or altering the FOV), you need to edit the configuration file.
Because it is a Unity game, the settings are usually stored in the registry or a standard preference file rather than a traditional .ini found in Unreal engine games. However, you can often find basic configuration details here:
C:\Users\YOUR-USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\FumiGames\Mouse\Player.logor within the registry at:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\FumiGames\MouseВнимание: Always be extremely careful when editing registry values. Changing the wrong key can cause the game to crash on startup.
Steam Deck / Linux Save Location
Playing MOUSE: P.I. For Hire on the go? The Steam Deck uses Proton to emulate the Windows file structure. Your save files are buried inside the compatdata folder.
/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/STEAM_APP_ID/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/FumiGames/Mouse/Tip: You will need to know the specific Steam App ID for MOUSE: P.I. For Hire. You can find this number by looking at the game’s URL on the Steam Store website. Look for that specific number string inside your compatdata folder.
Troubleshooting: Steam Cloud Sync Errors
If your Jack Pepper save file keeps disappearing or reverting to an older version, Steam Cloud might be conflicting with your local files.
- 1. Right-click MOUSE: P.I. For Hire in your Steam Library and select Свойства.
- 2. Under the General tab, toggle Steam Cloud to OFF.
- 3. Play the game, force a manual save, and then exit.
- 4. You can safely turn Steam Cloud back on, and it should prompt you to upload your newest local save to the servers.
