Metaphor: ReFantazio – Prologue Demo Save Data Transfer

Please refer to the instructions below if you are encountering issues transferring your save data from the Metaphor: ReFantazio – Prologue Demo.

If you selected “No” when the data carry over prompt appeared upon the full product’s initial boot or when selecting NEW GAME for the first time, the save data carry over will not appear when booting the game again. Please follow the instructions below to delete your system save data and try booting the full product again.

1. Navigate to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SEGA\METAPHOR\Steam\<steam_account_id> and delete system.sav
