Frequently Asked Questions

My save game is missing after updating.

Steam Cloud sync is enabled by default. If you recently switched devices, the save should download automatically — check your Steam Cloud status in the game's Steamworks library properties. If you've disabled Cloud, saves live at:

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Scuffed Studios\AI Apocalypse\saves\
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Scuffed Studios/AI Apocalypse/saves/
  • Linux: ~/.config/unity3d/Scuffed Studios/AI Apocalypse/saves/

If the folder is empty, check the Logs/ folder in the same path for save_error.log.

The game crashes on startup.

Most startup crashes are graphics-driver related. Try:

  1. Update your GPU drivers (Nvidia, AMD, or Intel)
  2. In Steam: right-click AI Apocalypse → Properties → Launch Options → add -force-vulkan (or -force-glcore if Vulkan fails)
  3. Check Logs/Player.log for the exception — email it to us
How do I unlock the Bleed / Burn / Poison build paths?

These three "challenge paths" are locked at the start of each class. Unlock conditions:

  • Bleed (Vibro Blade): Win any run with Vibro Blade using one of the other 2 paths
  • Burn (Arc Staff): Win any run with Arc Staff
  • Poison (Rail Rifle): Win any run with Rail Rifle

Unlocks persist across runs via meta-progression.

Will AI Apocalypse come to consoles / mobile?

No near-term plans. Early Access and full v1.0 release will be PC (Windows + Linux native) with macOS coming shortly after launch. Console ports would be post-1.0 if Early Access goes well. We've built the game to be controller-friendly throughout, so a Steam Deck experience is a priority.

Is there multiplayer / co-op?

No — AI Apocalypse is a single-player deckbuilder. Multiplayer is not on our roadmap. We recommend checking out games like Slay the Spire Multiplayer Mod, Monster Train 2, or Card Crawl for co-op deckbuilder experiences.

How do I use a mod or edit saves?

We don't officially support modding during Early Access. The game's card/gear data is generated at runtime from C# code (not editable JSON), so mod support would require engine-level changes. If there's strong community demand, Workshop support is on the post-1.0 wishlist.

Save editing: saves are JSON files in the paths listed above. Edit at your own risk — a malformed save crashes the game on load.

Accessibility — how do I make the text bigger?

Currently the game uses anchor-based UI that scales with window size. Run in windowed mode at a smaller resolution (1280×720 or 1280×800) to effectively increase UI scale. A proper UI-scale slider is on the roadmap. For specific accessibility issues, please email us directly and we'll prioritize based on feedback.
