PC Companion Save File: Location, Backup & Transfer Guide

Where Does PC Companion Store Save Files?

PC Companion stores your save data in a dedicated folder within your user directory. The exact path depends on your operating system, but for Windows — the only supported platform — the default location is:

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\PCCompanion\Saved\SaveGames

This folder contains one or more .sav files. Each file corresponds to a unique playthrough. Since the game normally allows only one女主角 per player, you will typically see a single save file named with a long string of numbers and letters (your Steam ID).

Hidden folder: The AppData folder is hidden by default. To access it quickly, press Win + R, type %localappdata%, and navigate to PCCompanion\Saved\SaveGames.

How to Back Up Your PC Companion Save

Backing up your save is essential to protect your progress, especially before attempting any major updates or system changes.

  1. Locate the save folder

    Navigate to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\PCCompanion\Saved\SaveGames as described above.

  2. Copy the save file

    Select the .sav file (or the entire SaveGames folder) and press Ctrl + C to copy it.

  3. Paste to a safe location

    Create a folder on your desktop, external drive, or cloud storage (e.g., PC Companion Backups), and paste the copied file there.

  4. Restore when needed

    To restore, simply copy the backup .sav file back into the original SaveGames folder, overwriting the existing file.

Pro tip: Schedule regular backups after each significant play session. You can also use Steam Cloud as an automatic backup, but manual backups give you full control.

Transferring Your Save to Another PC

If you want to continue your journey on a different computer, follow these steps.

  1. Back up the save on your source PC

    Follow the backup steps above to copy your .sav file to a USB drive or cloud service.

  2. Install and launch PC Companion on the target PC

    Make sure you have purchased and installed the game on the new computer. Launch it once to generate the initial save folder structure.

  3. Paste the save file

    Close the game on the target PC. Navigate to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\PCCompanion\Saved\SaveGames and paste your backup .sav file there.

  4. Verify the transfer

    Launch PC Companion again. Your女主角 and all progress should load as if you never switched computers.

Important: Steam Cloud sync may overwrite your manual transfer if you don't disable it temporarily. Go to Steam Library > right-click PC Companion > Properties > General, and uncheck "Enable Steam Cloud synchronization" before transferring.

Understanding Save File Structure

Each save file contains comprehensive data about your relationship with your女主角. Key elements stored include:

  • 女主角 state: Her appearance, personality traits, and dialogue history
  • Progress flags: Milestones reached, events triggered, and secrets discovered
  • Resource data: Any in-game currency or items you have collected
  • Stat tracking: Time spent, actions performed, and achievements earned

Single女主角 limit

By default, the game creates only one女主角 per Steam account. The save file is tied to your Steam ID, so sharing saves between different accounts will not work unless both accounts own the game.

Hidden secret

As mentioned in the Secrets Guide, there is a hidden method to obtain a second女主角. This involves modifying or replacing your save file in a specific way — proceed with caution.

Troubleshooting Common Save Issues

Even with careful management, save problems can arise. Here are solutions to the most frequent issues.

  • Save not loading: Verify the file is in the correct folder and that you have not renamed it. The game expects a specific filename format.
  • Corrupted save: If the game crashes on load, your save may be corrupted. Restore from a manual backup.
  • Steam Cloud conflict: If progress reverts after closing the game, disable Steam Cloud sync temporarily, then re-enable it after ensuring your local save is correct.
  • Missing女主角 after update: Some updates may reset certain parameters. Check the Patch Notes for known issues.
  • Permission denied: Ensure you have read/write access to the SaveGames folder. Running Steam as administrator can sometimes resolve this.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I edit my save file to unlock secrets? Yes, advanced users can open .sav files with a text editor to modify certain values. However, this is not officially supported and may break your game. Always back up your original save before editing.

Does PC Companion use Steam Cloud? Yes, Steam Cloud is enabled by default. Your save is automatically synced when you close the game, provided you have an internet connection.

What happens if I uninstall the game? Your save file remains in the AppData folder. You can reinstall the game later and your progress will still be there, as long as you haven't manually deleted the save folder.

Can I share my女主角 with a friend? Technically, you can send your .sav file to a friend. They can place it in their own SaveGames folder, but the女主角 will be linked to your Steam ID. Some interactions may not work correctly. For more details, see the Multiplayer Guide.

How do I start a new game without losing my save? PC Companion does not have a "New Game" option by default. To start fresh, you must manually delete or move your existing save file. Read the Restart Guide for step-by-step instructions.
