I know nothing about hidden directories.

I had created a folder within my documents, to which I saved all of my VN / games. I somehow deleted this entire folder. I was able to recover some VN / games, NOT Chasing Sunsets. As I explained before.
That's not what I'm saying though. Ren'Py by default creates two/2 "save directory's".

One where your game is actually at, and one in your appdata folder that is hidden. The only way those saves file can be deleted is if someone unhides those folders and goes to Users\*Username*\AppData\Roaming\RenPy and delete them or formats their computer.

Every Ren'Py game you've ever played has save files located there.


I think that's where my confusion spawned in. Believe it or not, my current OS install dates back to 2014. One of the first things I did was unhide files/folders/extensions. I updated it from 8.1 to 10 a few years ago just to get familiar with it for one of the jobs I was doing (wanted some familiarity), but it's all the same original core install. This stupid image has persisted from my Core Quad (Q6600), across an i7-920, i7-970, i7-7700k, and now the R9 3900X. Soon to be an R7 5800X3D, unless my colleague was serious about just giving me his 'inferior' system, in which case it'll bump up to a 7800X3D. Either way, woohoo!

I doubt there are too many dorky folk hanging about here who still have email records from the late 1990s/early 2000s. I'm just a damned data packrat (and I hate doing OS installs).

edit: just checked, because you made me curious. Only 1.47GB of VN saves!
Well, this is mine even with a purge a few months back....

Ok do the windows key + r and type this in %Appdata% in the bar that popped up, Then scroll down to the renpy folder open that and scroll down a bit until you see the folder ChasingSunsets with a long chain of nr next to it. That is where your saves files are


if you are windows ofcourse because on Mac you can't right click with a purpose

Is it hidden? I didn't think it was.

In any event, Poser, Sons is right. If you're still on the same Windows install, all your old save files still exist. Pop open a file explorer window and type in %appdata%\RenPy, it'll take you to the folder with all your stuff.

Ha, yeah, so many don't know that, like I said above I have 4GB of saves.

So, you now have all your saves back and more :)

Users\*Username*\AppData\Roaming\RenPy
Typing %appdata% by itself replaces all of that (except the RenPy), regardless of username. %localappdata% for the Users\*Username*\AppData\Roaming\ folders. I'm not sure if there's a system shorcut for the LocalLow folder (or what would even use it).

I was just trying to do an easy way since they had no idea about it.

It is up to you my friend, you can be on a love and romantic path with either Jaye or Mallory, Not shure about Tara, though,
Tara I think could still be a possibility if on the open relationship part

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: yeah that's what I was afraid of......(I am on that path) , see I don't like her much and she is pretty low on my "Tierlist" to be fair her role in this story has been a bit low, I personally find her behaviour annoying, plus that she is not atractive to me, makes her more a nuicance or a disadvantage which I have to deal with. Not like Peanut who has her weirdness that makes her charm . ;)
Maybe on the solo path Tara is less anoying but I hadn't muster up the energy to play either of those 2 (Mallory / Jaye)
