How to save in Deep Dish Dungeon

Checked 2026-10-16. Steam build 25955406. Patch 1.0.47.0.

I compared the full-game Steam categories with the demo FAQ before writing this. The full app lists Steam Cloud; the in-game Save and Exit guidance is separate from the store metadata. The publisher FAQ says demo saves do not transfer. If you are coming from the June demo, start a new file on purpose instead of hunting a migrate button.

Full game

The full-game store metadata lists Steam Cloud but does not expose a Save Anytime category. NPC Tips’ beginners notes say Save and Exit is the safe way out, and a sleeping bag becomes your spawn point. When you are clipped into a floor, the developer’s pinned post tells you to open the pause menu and choose Starve to Death. You reload the last save, lose items that respawn in the world, and keep key items.

Demo

The demo gained saving in the June 2026 v1013 update, and its store categories include Save Anytime. That file still does not import into app 2871520. Treat the demo as a separate hour, then buy or install the full game clean.

Demo after v1013YesNo. Official FAQ says demo saves stay in the demo

File path I will not generalize

One Steam post mentions Windows saves under AppData\LocalLow\Behold Studios\Deep Dish Dungeon\SavedGames\Game-<n>.ddd. I have not confirmed macOS or Steam Deck paths, so they are omitted.
