MENACE stores its save files at %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Overhype Studios\Menace\Saves 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.
Where MENACE saves are stored
- Windows —
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Overhype Studios\Menace\Saves
or%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Overhype Studios\Menace\Galaxy\Saves
Where two locations are listed, which one is in use depends on the install (Checkpoint64 checks them in order and uses the first that exists).
How to open the save folder
- Windows — press Win+R, paste
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Overhype Studios\Menace\Saves, and press Enter (the AppData folder is hidden in Explorer, which is why this path is so easy to miss — pasting it skips the hunt).
Backing up MENACE saves automatically
- Install Checkpoint64 (free) and pick MENACE — the save path above is already preset.
- Auto-backup watches the folder and uploads a new version whenever it changes, keeping full history.
- Restore any version in one click if a save corrupts, gets overwritten, or a mod breaks it.
