Saving in R.E.P.O. Explained (And Save Files)

So, you want to save your progress in R.E.P.O.? Good news: you can! Bad news: only under very specific conditions.
How Saving Works
Complete a run and then exit to the menu without immediately starting another game.
If you do this correctly, your progress will be saved, letting you pick up where you left off.
If everyone dies, your save is deleted—no second chances. The game simply erases your existence, like you were never even there.
Basically, if you finish a level and want to keep your progress, make sure to stop and exit before jumping into another mission.
What This Means for You
Survive = Keep Your Progress.
Die = The Game Pretends You Never Existed.
Now, let’s say you want to find your save files—maybe to back them up, transfer them, or just stare at them nervously, hoping they don’t disappear. Here’s where to look.
How R.E.P.O. Saves Work Across Modes
Your save file works in both single-player and multiplayer—progress carries over between the two.
If your save gets corrupted, you’ll have to start from scratch (yes, it’s as painful as it sounds).
Steam Cloud sync is unreliable—your saves probably won’t transfer between PCs automatically.
This is why knowing where your save files are stored is important—you can manually back them up or move them to another PC instead of hoping Steam Cloud actually does its job.
Where to Find Your R.E.P.O. Save Files
Open File Explorer – That folder icon you click when you're lost.
Go to the C Drive – Where Windows keeps all the important stuff.
Navigate to the Users folder – Find the folder with your username on it.
Look for LocalLow – Inside your user folder, open LocalLow (it’s a real thing, not a bad joke).
Find the "semiwork" folder – This is the developer’s folder.
Open the "Repo" folder – Almost there!
Enter the "saves" folder – And boom, you’ve found your progress.
Final Blurb
If you mess with these files, make a backup first. Otherwise, one wrong move and you’ll be restarting your repo career from scratch. And let’s be real—dying in-game is already punishment enough.
