Can Em All save location: one file, no cloud

The Can Em All save location is a single file called save.sav, sitting in the developer's folder inside AppData on Windows. There is no Steam Cloud for this game, so that one file is the whole of your progress — and the only thing to back up.

Can Em All save location: one file, no cloud

The full path on Windows is:

C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\LocalLow\LuisDev\Can 'Em All\save.sav

The demo uses the same layout in a sibling folder:

C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\LocalLow\LuisDev\Can 'Em All Demo\save.sav

Both folders live under LuisDev, the developer's name, in LocalLow.

Where the save file sits on disk

You do not need a file browser to find it. On Windows:

1. Press Win+R.
2. Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\LuisDev and press Enter.
3. You should see the Can 'Em All folder, and Can 'Em All Demo if you have played the demo.
4. Open the folder and find save.sav.

That is the only file that holds your progress. The same path is what you use when copying the demo save across, and the demo save transfer guide has the full procedure.

No Steam Cloud, and what that means on Steam Deck

The game lists only single-player, Steam achievements and family sharing as features, and there is no cloud sync behind it.

1. On a Steam Deck, starting the game shows a new game instead of the PC save.
2. Progress cannot be carried between a PC and a laptop automatically.
3. Copying save.sav by hand is the only way to move it.

So if you play on a desktop and want to continue on a handheld, or the other way round, copy the file yourself. Nothing in the game will reconcile the two.

Moving your save to another machine

1. Copy save.sav off the old machine.
2. On the new machine, install the game and run it once so it creates its own save.
3. Quit the game completely.
4. Replace the new save.sav with the copy you brought.
5. Start the game again.

Quit the game before replacing the file, or the change will be overwritten when it saves on exit.

If you are experimenting with the demo file and want a clean way back, keep a second copy of save.sav outside the game folder. The cheats and mods guide covers why people experiment with save files in the first place.
