That said, if you’re looking for your main or demo save files for Digimon Story Time Stranger, here is the save file location.

Digimon Story Time Stranger Save File Location

ClientSave File Location
Steam (Main Game)Digimon Story Time Stranger\gamedata\savedata
Steam (Demo)Digimon Story Time Stranger Demo\gamedata\savedata

If you’re unsure where Digiom Story Time Stranger is installed, you can access the game’s folder by following the steps below:

  • Open Steam and right-click on Digimon Story Time Stranger
  • Select Manage, followed by Browse local files

After that, you can access the required save files within the savedata folder inside the gamedata folder. This is where all your saved content is.

In addition to this, you can also find the game data in the following location within the Steam installation folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[STEAM ID]\1984270

Transfer Digimon Story Time Stranger Demo Saves to the Main Game

If, for whatever reason, the game doesn’t automatically pick up your progress from the demo in the main release, then there are a few things you can do.

Solution 1: Change Any Setting in the Demo Build

  • Launch the DEMO version and, from the title screen, change any option settings (e.g., graphics, sound), then save the settings. 
  • After that, launch the FULL version of the game and try the data transfer again. 

Solution 2: Manually Move Save Files

Copy the files within the savedata folder of the demo build into the savedata folder of the main build:

ClientSave File Location
Main GameDigimon Story Time Stranger\gamedata\savedata
DemoDigimon Story Time Stranger Demo\gamedata\savedata

After that, your progress will have moved over. Keep in mind that autosave data cannot be transferred from the demo build to the main build.

If the above doesn’t work either, move the save data in the Steam installation folder, as well as an added measure:

  • First, head over to the following location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[STEAM ID]\3815860

Copy everything inside the 3815860 folder, and paste it at the following location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[STEAM ID]\1984270

After that, you should see the appropriate data within the main game as well.
