Symphony of the Serpent is a popular indie action-adventure game (often compared to Snake meets bullet hell or roguelite dungeon crawler, depending on the specific version). Managing your save folder is essential for backing up progress, transferring data between devices, or manually updating the game without losing your achievements.

The exact path depends on your operating system and whether you purchased the game via Steam, GOG, or the standalone itch.io version.

4. What’s Inside the Folder? (Decoding the .sots, .upd, and .tmp files)

Once you successfully locate the UPD folder, you will see a set of files with specific extensions. Here is their meaning:

| File Extension | Purpose | Example | |----------------|---------|---------| | .sots | Main save slot (Serpent of the Scales) | Slot0.sots | | .upd | Incremental update log – used for rollback | UPD_2025-03-15_14-32-01.upd | | .tmp | Temporary save during gameplay – do not delete while game is running | current_run.tmp | | .meta | Metadata (cloud sync timestamps, playtime) | profile.meta |

Critical: The .upd files are your safety net. Each time you complete a floor, unlock a cursed item, or exit to the main menu, the game writes a new .upd file. You can rename the most recent .upd file to .sots to effectively revert to a previous state.
