Save files are stored in your user profile directory, not with the EXE file. So even if you update the EXE and use a newer version - it should pull the same save files from your profile
On windows this is %APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\Overworked\saves
Hey hey, I'm having a similar issue. Is it perhaps because the path you mentioned above "%APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\Overworked\saves" should have "\Roamng\" between Appdata and Godot? Just a shot in the dark.
turns out anyone who’s jumping straight from the original demo release (v1.0.2) to the latest- will need to restart saves. When we built the save anywhere feature in v1.1.0 we changed how saves work.
