Accidentally Uninstalled, Deleting Save

So I was manually going in to check for an update and just got in a hurry and clicked "Uninstall". So on reinstallation, my saves are gone. Sure, I should always back up saves. Never mind there's no in-game link to the save folder. Is there a way to code the game to not uninstall saves? I'll assume not because it's likely an Itch.IO thing and I will be looking for options on how Itch installs and uninstalls my games. Still, would be great to not have this happen...


Still love the game and always recommend it when I can!

You can use the "External Save Directory" flag. Outside of that itch sadly doesn't give me the option to configure a save folder (or anything) for the itch.io app.

Thank you for replying. I hate to be a pest, but I cannot find "External Save Directory" flag and I can't find anything about it in a web search, just multiple people asking where game saves are located. I've checked Preferences. I've checked Settings. I've tried the SKA Manager. I've overlooked it, or could you give me a hint where it is? Thank you! I will be more diligent in the future. Perhaps I'll spring for the Steam version sooner than later where I can get a cloud save.

It's in the game's option menu under General.


Thank you. I did not check in the game as I'd never noticed that before and had looked through the menus many times. So much for my memory abilities.....
