We're Moar Interactive. We make Signed in Secret, a story-rich adult visual novel built with Ren'Py. Episode I is in production, and there's no build to play yet. Following us on Patreon is free. Want to check your saves before an update? Try our free tool: Save-Safe Update Checker.
The real save folder
- Windows: `%APPDATA%\RenPy` (paste it into the Explorer bar or press Win+R)
- Mac: `~/Library/RenPy` (in Finder, use Go > Go to Folder)
- Linux: `~/.renpy`
Each game has its own folder inside. The name is the game's inside name plus some numbers, so it may not match the store title. Tip: save once in the game, then sort by date. The newest folder is yours.
Why is there a "saves" folder in the game too?
Many games also make `game/saves` next to the game files. That is a copy. It helps if you run the game from a USB stick. If you delete saves in only one place, they can come back from the other one.
How to back up your saves
1. Close the game. 2. Copy the whole game folder from the RenPy folder above. Keep the folder name the same. 3. The `persistent` file holds things like your gallery unlocks. Copy it too.

Before a big update
Back up first. Our free, SFW Save-Safe Update Checker helps you check. It's pay what you want, and $0 is fine.
Where does Signed in Secret fit?
Signed in Secret is our 18+ visual novel, a remake of Bancroft Academy. It is still in production and no build is out yet. It will be $10, and free for people who own Bancroft Academy on Steam. Patreon is monthly and you can cancel anytime.
