I lost my progress in the game

This can happen in the case of a hardware error, or loss of power. However, there might be a backup you can restore.

Locating your save game files

Windows

On Windows, your save files are in:

%APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\The Roottrees are Dead

For example on a computer named “robin”, this makes the path:

C:\Users\robin\AppData\Roaming\Godot\app_userdata\The Roottrees are Dead

Replace robin with your PC username.

MacOS

On a mac it’s in:

~/Library/Application Support/Godot/app_userdata/The Roottrees are Dead/

This would expand to something like:

/Users/robin/Library/Application Support/Godot/app_userdata/The Roottrees are Dead/logs/

Replace robin with your PC username.

Linux

On Linux it’s in:

~/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/The Roottrees are Dead/

Save games have names like 123123123-slot1.save where 123123123 is a different number for you (your Steam ID) and slot1 could be 2 or 3 depending on your slot.

Restoring backups

There should be an equivalent file ending with .bak. For example 123123123-slot1.save.bak.

To restore a backup for a broken save file, rename the .save.bak file to .save and restart the game.
