(Windows) Machinarium's saves were stored in the Flash cache so will be removed by tools such as CCleaner; disable Flash file deletion to avoid this.[3] However, since the Definitive update, the game no longer runs on Flash.
(Windows) Amanita Design also released their own tool to extract save-files.[4]
This game does not follow the XDG Base Directory Specification on Linux.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/40700/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (40700) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
  2. When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
