Horses of Hoofprint Bay Guide

Save file location, backups, and where mods go

Updated · Basics

Quick answer

On Windows saves live under AppData → LocalLow → ThogliStudios → Horses of Hoofprint Bay → Saves~ → Games (one folder per save, with save.json inside), with daily backups (save1, save2…) beside it; Steam Cloud is on. Editing a save marks it with a red ribbon and disables achievements for that save. Mods: there is no Steam Workshop; the store says you can edit game files for custom colour palettes and swap texture and text files, and a third-party demo-era tutorial puts files in Saves~ → Mods → Tack and Saves~ → Mods → Clothes (restart the game; items then appear in the shop). Back up before deleting demo saves — a launch-week bug report says new saves stopped opening after that.

Paths (Windows)

What Where
Saves %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\ThogliStudios\Horses of Hoofprint Bay\Saves~\Games\<name>\save.json
Daily backups same folder, save1.json, save2.json…
Mods (tack, clothes) …\Saves~\Mods\Tack, …\Saves~\Mods\Clothes (demo-era tutorial; full game expected to match)

The demo used a Horses of Hoofprint Bay Demo folder — a different place, which is part of why the October demo’s save can be imported but the February one can’t.

FAQ

Where are saves on Linux?

Not documented; expect the Unity LocalLow equivalent under ~/.config/unity3d/ThogliStudios/. We'll confirm when a player posts it.

Can I cheat money by editing the save?

The Steam guide shows the field, and the game then flags the save and turns off achievements. Your call.

Is there a modding guide from the developers?

Not yet. The folder names above come from a demo tutorial; the full-game path is the same structure without 'Demo' in the folder name (unverified).
