Quick Answer

Save Method

Windrose autosaves every 5 minutes. You can also manually save at any Inn or Tavern by interacting with the bed/resting icon. Save files are stored locally.

Detailed Explanation

Q: Does Windrose have an autosave?

A: Yes. The game autosaves every 5 minutes automatically. The autosave indicator appears briefly in the top-right corner when triggered.

Q: How do I manually save?

A: Visit any Inn or Tavern and interact with the bed or resting icon. Manual saves are independent of autosaves and are marked with a timestamp.

Q: Where are save files stored?

A: Save files are stored in your user profile directory: %APPDATA%/Windrose/saves/ on Windows. Each character has its own save file.

Q: Can I have multiple save files?

A: Yes. Each new game creates a new save file. You can have unlimited save files and switch between them from the main menu.

Q: What happens if my game crashes?

A: If your game crashes, your last autosave (within 5 minutes) will be loaded. Manual saves are unaffected by crashes.

Q: Can I backup my save?

A: Yes. Copy the entire %APPDATA%/Windrose/saves/ folder to a safe location. You can restore by replacing the folder contents.
