Save File Backup Guide

Endacopia uses one save file at a time. If you overwrite it before a major decision, you cannot go back. This guide covers:

• Where Endacopia saves files on Windows
• How Steam Cloud works alongside local saves
• Manual backup procedure for ending runs
• Pre-Saw Box backup strategy

For the broader mechanics, see Save System. Patch context for save changes: Patch Notes.

Save File Location (Windows)

The game stores saves under your user profile:

%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Endacopia\agssave.*

This is the path confirmed by SteamDB’s app file system for AppID 2684630:

Platform	Path	Pattern
All OSes	%USERPROFILE%/Saved Games/Endacopia	agssave.*
Windows (Override)	%USERPROFILE%/Saved Games/Endacopia	(same)

The Steam user file system config for this title:

• quota: 19.07 MiB (20,000,000 bytes)
• maxnumfiles: 20
• savefiles pattern: agssave.*
• recursive: 1

So expect a handful of files in the folder — typically one main save plus optional quicksaves.

Steam Cloud (Patch 1.04+)

Cloud syncs your single save across PCs signed into the same Steam account. From patch notes:

Steam Cloud syncing for the single save file between PCs signed into the same Steam account.

What this means in practice:

• Cloud does not replace wandering save points — you still save in-game
• Cloud does sync that single file between devices
• You still have one local save file; Cloud just mirrors it
• If you copy a save locally, Cloud may overwrite it on next launch (manual backup strategy below handles this)

To enable Cloud for Endacopia:

1. Right-click Endacopia in your Steam library
2. Properties → General → Steam Cloud → ensure it is enabled
3. Wait for the next launch — Cloud uploads/downloads happen automatically

Manual Backup Procedure

To copy your save outside the Steam-managed folder before a major choice:

Step 1 — Close the game fully

Endacopia writes to the save folder only on explicit save or app close. Quit to desktop before copying.

Step 2 — Copy the save folder

In PowerShell:

$src = "$env:USERPROFILE\Saved Games\Endacopia"
$dst = "$env:USERPROFILE\Documents\Endacopia-backups\$(Get-Date -Format 'yyyyMMdd-HHmm')"
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $dst
Copy-Item -Path "$src\*" -Destination $dst -Recurse
Write-Host "Backup saved to $dst"

In Explorer, paste this in the address bar:

%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Endacopia

Copy the entire folder to your backup destination.

Step 3 — Verify the copy

Open the destination folder. You should see agssave.001 (or similar) plus optional quicksave files. If the folder is empty, the game may not have saved yet — finish a wandering save first.

Restore Procedure

If a backup is needed (e.g. you overwrote your Chapter I save by accident):

1. Close Endacopia and Steam Cloud sync (disable Cloud temporarily)
2. Replace the contents of %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Endacopia with your backup files
3. Re-launch the game — Steam Cloud may immediately try to overwrite if it has a newer version; keep Cloud disabled until you confirm your local save loads
4. Re-enable Cloud after confirming

Pre-Saw Box Strategy

This is the single most important backup you can make. The Saw Box decision (Toy vs Real Saw) locks you into Escape or Return for that save. To keep both options:

1. Reach the Saw Box at Henry’s computer
2. Note the password: 471
3. Save the game at a wandering point
4. Make a manual backup of the save folder
5. Open the Saw Box, take the Toy Saw, give it to Roger → Escape
6. After completing Escape, restore the manual backup
7. Re-open the Saw Box with code 471, take the Real Saw → Return

Without a backup, you cannot reach the second saw choice on the same save slot.

Pre-Stay Strategy

The Stay ending requires:

• Escape achievement unlocked
• Return achievement unlocked
• Reload a near-complete Chapter I save

So before your first Ending A run, make a separate Chapter I backup once you have recovered all body parts and cleared the main side content. This backup is your Stay reload file.

Quicksave Tips

• The game has wandering save points plus an auto-named quicksave
• Cloud syncs the single save slot; manual copies are not synced
• If you need three different save states (e.g. Run 1 Ending A, Run 2 Ending B, Stay reload), use three Steam accounts or three PCs with Cloud disabled
• Local backup of the save folder is the most reliable cross-platform method

Troubleshooting

My backup didn’t restore correctly

• Make sure Steam Cloud is disabled before restoring — it may overwrite your restored file on next launch
• Verify the source backup contained agssave.* files (not an empty folder)

Cloud says it’s syncing but my save is old

• Cloud may push an older version back if you copied a backup onto another machine — disable Cloud, restore locally, re-enable

The save folder doesn’t exist

• The folder is created on first save. Launch Endacopia, play to a wandering point, save, then quit

Volume is stuck at 0 in the save

• Press F9 for 100% volume in patch 1.07+
• See Patch Notes for the 1.07 release
