Known Demo save path
On Windows, the current Demo metadata points to the local user profile under AppData/Local/PizzaHouseSimulator/Saved/SaveGames/. The folder may be hidden because AppData is hidden by default.
- 01%USERPROFILE%Windows user→
- 02AppData / LocalHidden by default→
- 03PizzaHouseSimulatorDemo metadata→
- 04Saved / SaveGames.sav files
Back up the Demo save without editing it
- 01
Close the game so it is not writing to the save folder.
- 02
Open File Explorer and paste the Demo path into the address bar after expanding
%USERPROFILE%automatically. - 03
Copy the entire
SaveGamesfolder to a dated folder outside the game directory. - 04
Keep the original filenames and directory structure unchanged.
- 05
Restart the Demo and confirm the current save still opens before relying on the backup.
The historical money-reset fix
The first official Demo update says money resetting after save/load was fixed. If you see that symptom now, capture the current build, whether the save predates the update and whether a new save behaves the same way.
Avoid destructive save troubleshooting
Do not delete a save folder before making a verified copy.
Do not rename or edit
.savfiles while the game is running.Do not download replacement saves from unknown sources.
Do not assume Steam Cloud protects a file until cloud behavior is confirmed for the full game.
Do not claim the host or every guest owns the co-op save without testing it.
