Darkest Dungeon Save File Location (Windows)

Darkest Dungeon stores its save files at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<your Steam ID>\262060\remote on Windows. Checkpoint64 already knows this folder — it backs it up automatically and keeps earlier versions, so a corrupted or overwritten save is one click from restored.
