Folklore PC v0.6 — Save Slots

Keep as many saves as you like and choose which one to play — before the game even starts.

💾 New: Save slots

Folklore keeps every save in its own slot (on a PS3 you pick one from a list). The PC port had no such list, so it always loaded and overwrote the first save. Now the launcher has a Saves page:

  • See every save at a glance — each slot shows the picture of the area you saved in, the character and location, both Ellen's and Keats' chapters, your play time and when you last saved.
  • Choose the slot, then Play — the game loads and saves only that slot, so your other saves are never touched.
  • New slot — start a fresh game without losing your existing ones.
  • Import... — bring saves in from RPCS3 (point it at RPCS3's folder and it finds them all), from an exported save, or from a folder of saves. Saves you already have are skipped.
  • Duplicate — copy a slot into a new one, to try something without risking your main save or to keep a point you can go back to. It never overwrites an existing slot.
  • Export... — copy a slot out as a standard PS3 save folder that drops straight into RPCS3.
  • Delete... — asks you to confirm, then moves the slot to a deleted_saves folder instead of erasing it, so Import can bring it back.

The in-game engine menu (L3 + R3 or F1) shows which slot you're playing. Your existing save is slot 0 and stays selected, so nothing changes until you pick another slot.

🔧 Also fixed

  • The launcher's "Choose your disc dump…" message no longer runs underneath the Ko-fi button.

Updating from v0.5

Unzip the new version over the old one (or into a new folder and copy your gamedata folder and folklore_settings.ini across). Your saves stay where they are and show up as slots.

Getting it

Download the zip for your version, unzip it and run run_launcher.bat. Point the Game page at your own disc dump (and the 1.10 update for 1.10 builds), then press Play. As always, you need your own copy of the game; this release contains no game code.
