No Rest for the Wicked Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-10-08

Save file location (Windows (Steam)): %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Moon Studios\NoRestForTheWicked\DataStore

Quick answer: On PC, No Rest for the Wicked stores saves at C:\Users\<you>\AppData\LocalLow\Moon Studios\NoRestForTheWicked\DataStore\ . The fastest route is Win+R, paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Moon Studios\NoRestForTheWicked\DataStore and press Enter (AppData\LocalLow is hidden by default). Inside DataStore are numbered subfolders — one per major update — each holding .dat files for your account, character and realm. Copy the whole NoRestForTheWicked folder to back everything up, especially before an Early Access patch.

No Rest for the Wicked (an Early Access game) keeps its saves in the hidden LocalLow AppData tree, split into per-update subfolders — which matters because big patches can start a fresh folder and make your old run look gone. Here is the exact PC path, how to open it, and how to back it up.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam)
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Moon Studios\NoRestForTheWicked\DataStore

Full default: C:\Users\<you>\AppData\LocalLow\Moon Studios\NoRestForTheWicked\DataStore\ . Inside are numbered per-update subfolders with account/character/realm .dat files. AppData\LocalLow is hidden — use the Run box.

Steam Cloud copy
Steam userdata (managed by Steam)

The Steam version syncs via Steam Cloud on launch/exit. A corrupted local save can overwrite the good cloud copy, so keep a manual backup — doubly so during Early Access.

Cloud saves

No Rest for the Wicked syncs via Steam Cloud on launch and exit, but because it's in Early Access, major updates can migrate saves into a new DataStore subfolder and sometimes reset runs. A manual copy of the whole NoRestForTheWicked folder before each big patch is the only reliable safety net.

Cloud save conflict & platform recovery

Common loss: a run looks gone after a major Early Access update — the new patch created a fresh DataStore subfolder and your old save is still in the previous numbered folder.

  1. Open the DataStore folder and check ALL numbered subfolders — your old run is likely in a previous update's folder, not deleted.
  2. Before installing any Early Access update, copy the whole NoRestForTheWicked folder somewhere safe.
  3. If the cloud rolled progress back, disable Steam Cloud (or go offline), restore your .dat files to the right subfolder, launch once to confirm, then re-enable cloud.
