Where to look for Agent17 saves
Ren’Py can keep a local copy and a per-user copy. Folder names differ by build, so use the patterns below rather than assuming one exact directory.
| Platform | Primary place to check | Also check |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | %APPDATA%\RenPy\Agent17-* | The extracted game folder under game\saves |
| macOS | ~/Library/RenPy/Agent17-* | The app or extracted game’s local saves folder |
| Linux | ~/.renpy/Agent17-* | The extracted game folder under game/saves |
| Android | Android/data/[Agent17 package]/files/saves | Any in-game export or sync copy you created |
Create a reliable backup
- 01
Close the game
Wait until the save finishes and exit before copying files.
- 02
Find the newest files
Sort candidate save folders by modified time and compare with the moment you last saved.
- 03
Copy both locations
Desktop players should copy the user Ren’Py folder and any game-local saves directory.
- 04
Name the backup
Use the game version, platform and date, for example Agent17-0.26.10-Windows-2026-08-18.
- 05
Test a duplicate
Restore to a separate copy or new slot before relying on the backup.
Transfer to another device
- 01
Match the game version first
Install v0.26.10 on the destination and launch it once so its save folder exists.
- 02
Copy, do not cut
Leave the source save intact until the destination opens it.
- 03
Transfer save files and persistent state carefully
Start with the numbered save files. Replace persistent data only if you understand that it can affect unlocks and settings.
- 04
Open a duplicate slot
Confirm name, route, inventory and quest state before continuing.
- 05
Keep the archive offline
Do not upload a personal save publicly if it contains names or choices you do not want shared.
Save recovery problems
New build shows no saves
Check the other Ren’Py location and confirm the folder name did not change.
Android data folder is hidden
Use a computer connection or Android’s system file picker; Android 11+ limits direct access.
Save loads but route is wrong
You may have copied persistent state or a post-branch slot. Restore the dated pre-choice backup.
v0.26.11 save
Preserve it separately, then test a copy in v0.26.10 after reading the withdrawal notice.
Old guide says upload/download
v0.24 added save upload/download features, but manual local backups remain the safest fallback.
100% save request
This wiki does not distribute completed saves; they can replace route state and are difficult to trust.
Quick answers
Frequently asked questions
Where is the Agent17 save file on Windows?
Check %APPDATA%\RenPy\Agent17-* and the extracted game folder’s game\saves directory.
Can I move an Android save to PC?
Often yes for Ren’Py saves when versions match, but Android storage access and persistent state can complicate the transfer. Copy first and test a duplicate.
Will updating Agent17 delete saves?
An in-place update often keeps user data, but uninstalling, signature changes or route resets can still cause loss. Back up before updating.
Can I download a 100% save here?
No. The site focuses on preserving your own route and does not host save archives.
