Anyone knows the location of the Save Files for the Mac version of Never Alone?

I've looked around for them on my Mac everywhere I can think of, including inside the package contents of the application itself, but zero luck.

I've searched for "never alone", "E Line Media" and "Upper One Games" (and variants of the names, such as "eline media", "e_line media", never_alone", upperonemedia", etc).
I even checked for "unity3d" to see what would come up.

Elsewhere on the internet all answers are for the location of the files for the Windows version, but no Mac.

Thanks for any clues as to where they may be.

let's try search the entire file system, open a terminal and type:
find / | grep -i "never" | grep -i "alone"

h113331pp: let's try search the entire file system, open a terminal and type:

Done.
I exported the results to a text file and searched for the usual suspects, but not many files came up that leave no doubt about whether or not there's where the saves are stored.

Besides a couple of "config" files where saves could be stashed (I know Unity is famous for having some convoluted ways for dealing with saves, such as writing them (and the configuration) directly to the registry, in some cases in games for Windows), there was a "SAVE STATES" folder in the Library that looked promising.

The thing is that lots of applications write to that folder as well, and that may just mean they are saved states for how the application looks at any moment in case the OS crashes, or other such event.
So, without having tested the files yet (by renaming them, for example) I think the likeliest possibility is this one:

"unity.E-Line Media.Never Alone.savedState".

So, I will test and write back with the results.

===========================
OK, I tested the possibility of that folder being it, but no luck. The game re-creates the folder with all files intact as soon as it launches and the game can still be continued from the spot I left it, so the saves must be coming from another place.

Weird thing is there is even a clearly named PS4 saves .dll file around there, but nothing at all as clear as that for the Mac.

SOLUTION

The developer's costumer support answered my question and this is the path to the saves of Never Alone:

/Users/USER ACCOUNT/Library/Caches/unity.E-Line Media.Never Alone/cprofile.dat

NOTE: Your Library folder must be visible, since MacOS 10.7 and above hide it.

If you don't know how to make it visible, here is the full answer I received from E-Line media:

"Ok bear with me it's a little tricky to get to this data, you'll need to cast some magic.

First, you need to "Show hidden files and folders"
-Open terminal
-type "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES"
-Hit [Enter]
-Hold down Alt and Right Click Finder to bring up menu
-Click Relaunch at bottom of Menu

All Finder windows will relaunch

File save data path:
-Go to Users[your user on computer]\Library\Caches\unity.elinemedia.never.alone folder
-Locate: "cprofile.dat"

Let me know if you have any trouble with these directions. I will put these up on our FAQ page.

Thanks!

Couldn't you simply have entered from the terminal:
open ~/Library/Caches/unity.E-Line Media.Never Alone/

No idea if I could have.
That is a question for E-Line's costumer support, whose answer is what I posted.

Yes, I understood that. Assuming what I posted works it would seem to be simpler.
Just posting to say that GameSave Manager, a free program for, well, managing game saves, is good for telling you the game save location of lots of games, including Never Alone.

EDIT: Ah, the Mac version... reading is hard!

I thought I would let people know that this post helped me find the location of the saved game files on Linux as well. Very similar file path:

/home/USERNAME/.config/unity3d/E_Line Media/Never Alone and there is the cprofile.dat file. All you need to do on Linux is to make the hidden files viewable in your home folder by clicking on View and checking "Show Hidden Files.
