Tsukihime Save File Direct

The original doujin soft game is finicky. Depending on whether you are running the untranslated version, the Mirror Moon translation, or a pre-patched EXE, the save location changes.

As of 2026, Type-Moon has announced Tsukihime: The Other Side of Red Garden (the Far Side routes: Akiha, Hisui, Kohaku). A major question is:

  • For emulator saves: use emulator export/import features and verify checksum if needed.

    • | OS | Path | |----|------| | Windows (XP–11) | %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Tsukihime\ or inside the game folder itself (save\ or tsukihime.ksd) | | Linux (Wine) | ~/.wine/drive_c/users/[user]/Saved Games/Tsukihime/ | | Mac (Wine/CrossOver) | Similar to Linux; inside the .app or drive_c |

    • Some repacks require starting a new game and saving once to generate the correct folder structure.

    Assuming you have downloaded a Tsukihime.zip file from a fan forum (like Beast’s Lair or Reddit), follow these steps:

    Step 1: Backup your current saves. Do not lose your progress. Copy the original savedata folder to your desktop. Nevertheless, keep your savedata from the first remake

    Step 2: Locate the game directory. Right-click your Tsukihime.exe shortcut and select "Open file location."

    Step 3: Overwrite files. Drag the downloaded .sav files into the folder. If asked to overwrite, click "Yes."

    Step 4: Set "Read Only" (For Windows 8/10 users). This is a pro tip. Sometimes the game ignores new saves. Right-click the savedata folder > Properties > Uncheck "Read-only" > Apply to all subfolders.

    Step 5: Launch the game. Load a save from slot 1. If the text is garbled (mojibake), you are using the wrong regional encoding. Restart your PC with Japanese locale or use Locale Emulator.
