Where can I find the save files for native Linux games launched through Heroic on Linux Mint 22?

Hello! I just recently purchased Hollow Knight: Silksong through GOG, and I'd like to locate the save file, since I'm using the native Linux version. However, it doesn't seem to be anywhere that I've been able to find so far. Any help appreciated.

Then check .local and .share dirs

Thanks. It's not in .local; there's a folder in .local called "share," but it doesn't have anything with Silksong stuff in it.

Should be in ~/.config/unity3d.

~ is shorthand for your home directory.

I'm literally just guessing, but I think you'll want to copy all of thes files in the directory ~/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/config/unity3d/Team\ Cherry/Hollow\ Knight\ Silksong/default/Restore_Points1/ I'm gonna try copying those files from my deck, over to my macbook, and see what happens

Yeah, I just copied the folder. Turns out that the Windows version of the game can read the native Linux version's save file! That's pretty cool.

It didn't work for me, sadly. I did scp steam-deck:~/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/config/unity3d/Team\ Cherry/Hollow\ Knight\ Silksong/default/Restore_Points1/ ~/Library/Application\ Support/unity.Team-Cherry.Silksong/default/Restore_Points1, and heroic on my mac just behaved like the save file hadn't changed at all.
