This Guide tells you, how to change save files, to cheat a 100% save slot or whatever you want.
Where to find Savefiles?
On Windows, you find them at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Will_You_Snail. Don’t know where it’s located on other devices. In that folder there are files named like “S3-SaavoGame23-2.sav”. The “S3” in the beginning means, that it’s the third save slot. “S2-SaavoGame23-2.sav” is the second slot, “SaavoGame23-2.sav” is the first. you can edit the files using a Text Editor like Notepad.
How do the save files work?
The save file saves everything what the game needs to remember about your save slot. For example, what options you have enabled (1 means enabled, 0 means disabled), What Dialogs and Exploration points you got, how often you died, if you are still counted as a speedrunner, etc. Here’s a list on what which number/word in the save file does:
- number in the beginning: i have absolutely no idea what that number means, but it doesn’t seem to be important.
- Game Version: obviously, the games version.
- Room: could be to tell which room you’re in right now
- Deaths: total number of times you died in that save slot
- Difficulty: currently selected difficulty (3: Easy,…,0: Infinitely Easy)
- Played Voice Lines: lists all voice lines that were already played. number above tells how many it are
- Difficulty Settings Unlocked: at beginning of game those aren’t unlocked.
