Lucky's Funhouse Restart Guide: How to Start Over

Why Restart in Lucky's Funhouse?

Restarting your adventure in Lucky's Funhouse can be a strategic decision. Whether you want to experience a different story path, correct early mistakes, or challenge yourself with a clean slate, knowing how to properly reset your progress is essential. This guide covers all methods to begin anew.

Lucky's Funhouse features multiple endings based on your choices and actions. If you've reached a conclusion you're unhappy with, or simply want to see what happens when you make different decisions, a restart is the best way to do so. The game's horror and puzzle elements also benefit from a fresh perspective.

Before you restart, consider what you might lose. Your save file contains all your progress, including unlocked secrets, collected items, and story flags. There is no official New Game Plus mode, so a restart is a complete reset.

Method 1: Using the In-Game Menu

The simplest way to restart is through the main menu. Follow these steps:

1. Open the Main Menu

   From the pause screen or title screen, select the "Options" or "Settings" gear icon.

2. Find the Save Management Option

   Look for a tab labeled "Save Data," "Progress," or "Manage Saves." This is usually located under a "Gameplay" or "System" submenu.

3. Select Delete or Reset

   Choose the option to "Delete Save Data" or "Reset Progress." Confirm the prompt to erase your current file. This will return you to the title screen.

4. Start a New Game

   Select "New Game" from the title screen to begin your fresh playthrough.

This method is the most straightforward and is recommended for most players. It ensures that all story flags and inventory items are cleared.

Method 2: Manual Save File Deletion (PC)

For PC and Linux players, you can manually delete your save files. This is useful if the in-game option is missing or if you want to keep multiple backup copies.

First, locate your save file folder. On Windows, it is typically found in: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Lucky_s_Funhouse\Saved\SaveGames

On Linux, look in: ~/.config/Lucky_s_Funhouse/Saved/SaveGames

Once inside, you will see files with names like SaveSlot_0.sav. Delete the file corresponding to the slot you wish to clear. Launch the game, and it will treat the slot as empty.

What Does Not Carry Over?

When you restart in Lucky's Funhouse, everything is reset. This includes:

• Inventory: All keys, tools, and puzzle items are gone.
• Story Progress: All completed chapters and unlocked endings are erased.
• Unlockables: Any cosmetic or gameplay unlocks tied to your save file will be lost.
• Achievements: Steam achievements are tied to your account, not your save file, so they remain unlocked.
