The primary files inside your save folder use a clear naming convention: savegame_0.save represents your first save slot, while savegame_1.save and savegame_2.save represent slots two and three respectively.
To manually back up or edit your saves, you first need to locate the hidden folders where the game stores them.
At its core, Blasphemous is a game about guilt and atonement. The protagonist, The Penitent One, wears a barbed helmet that fuses his flesh with iron, a physical manifestation of eternal guilt. The game’s save system, known as the "Prie Dieu" (Pray to God), is not merely a checkpoint but a confessional. When the player dies, they leave behind a fragment of their guilt—a "Guilt Fragment"—that reduces their maximum Fervor (magic) bar until they return to the point of death to reclaim it. This mechanic is the game’s holy law. It punishes recklessness and forces the player to retread their steps, learning the rhythm of enemy patrols and the geography of spikes.
