Main Menu

The **Main Menu** is accessed by pressing the ESC key, or by clicking on the **Main Menu** button within the game's interface.

This is the same menu you would see when you select "Settings" from the game starting screen.

There are 5 buttons in the Main Menu:

## Save

This will save the game.

There is only one(1) save folder for each game.

The folder for the saved games is located in the following folders:

* Windows: C:\users\[profile]\appdata\locallow\Unknown Origin Games\OddRealm
* Mac: -Library/Application Support/Unknown Origin Games/OddRealm
* Linux: -/.config/unity3d/Unknown Origin Games/OddRealm

If you are sending a copy of the game for bug reporting, please send the whole folder for the Realm in question.

## Load

The load option will list your Realms that have a save file.

They will display in the list based on when they were last accessed.

There is a red X at the top right to close the load menu.
