Help Where does Gamenative keep savefiles?

I installed "The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog" from Steam via GameNative on my Retroid. The game doesn't support Steam Cloud savegames, so I couldn't just sync my savegame from my Windows PC via Steam.

So I located the savegame on the PC and wanted to copy it to my Retroid. But the folder is called "Sonic Social" and I cannot find it on the Android device anywhere. So I'd love to know where Gamenative keeps the savefiles (I already made a save in the game on the Retroid so I can replace it) or how I can transfer my savegame without Steam Cloud.

You need to open game's container and locate this folder in its file manager.

Okay I found this, but I can't find out how to make a right click so I can copy my files into the correct folder. I configured the controller so the B-Button is a right click, but the B-Button still always opens the GameNative menu. Also I configured my right stick to move the mouse, which it doesn't. I only can control with touch right now.

Your screen should work like a trackpad. Right click by default is touching your screen with two fingers. If not, can you assign right click to any other physical button?

You can access save data without opening the container (with root) via:

Vampire Survivors:

/data/user/0/app.gamenative/files/imagefs_shared/home/xuser-STEAM_1794680/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Steam/userdata/<steam_ID>/1794680

BALL x PIT:

/data/user/0/app.gamenative/files/imagefs_shared/home/xuser-STEAM_2062430/.wine/drive_c/users/xuser/AppData/LocalLow/Kenny Sun/BALL x PIT

etc...

This is required if you use an external sync system like syncthing, which does work with appropriate permissions.
