On Windows, ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs save files are located at %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Mandragora\Restory\SaveData. Close the game before copying or restoring anything, then back up the entire folder rather than guessing which file contains the route you need.

Open the save folder

Press Windows + R, paste %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Mandragora\Restory\SaveData and press Enter. Using the environment path avoids assuming that Windows is installed on a particular drive or that every account has the same name.

If the folder is missing, launch the game, create or load progress, allow it to save and close normally. Then check again. Do not substitute a Steam installation folder: installed game files and user save data serve different purposes.

How ReStory keeps recent saves

The SaveData folder contains five save files, and the game loads the most recent one. This gives a path to an older state when a current request is blocked, but moving files carelessly can still lose progress.

First turn off Steam Cloud temporarily if it would immediately restore the newest copy. Move the most recent save to a separate dated backup location, then launch the game so it can load the next recent file. Keep every original until you confirm the recovered state works.

Make a manual backup

  1. Exit ReStory and wait for Steam synchronization to finish.
  2. Open the SaveData folder using the path above.
  3. Copy the entire folder to a separate location.
  4. Name the copy with the date and route point.
  5. Start the game and verify that normal saving still works.

Back up before a houseguest invitation, the Hashimoto ending choice or any manual recovery. A copied folder is more useful when its name explains which decision it precedes.

Restore an older state safely

Keep Steam Cloud disabled during the controlled restore so it does not replace local changes unexpectedly. Work with copies: preserve the current newest file, move it out of the active folder and test the next recent save. Restore the untouched backup if the expected state does not load.

Never edit save contents while the game is open. Do not download another player's save as a repair method because route flags, achievements and account-linked behavior may differ.

Direct answer

Use %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Mandragora\Restory\SaveData on Windows. Back up the whole directory, close the game before changes and use the five recent files cautiously when recovering an older state.
