For Windows 11, Alan Wake save data, including settings, is in:
C:\Users\[YOURWINDOWSUSERNAME]\AppData\Local\Remedy\AlanWake2
The slot folders go in a sub-folder with a big long filename made of letters and numbers like ih9lc218sfmnlwhdrv66yy6hjxax6gwb (it'll probably be unique for you, IDK). So it might look something like:
C:\Users\KEN\AppData\Local\Remedy\AlanWake2\aw9lc218sfmnlwhdrv66yy6hjxax6gwb
You'll know you're in the right place if you see your current saves, the folders called aw2-savegame-slot-00, aw2-savegame-slot-01, etc. Back up your own first if you want to keep them. Then replace them with the new save slots from the pack of your choice.
I played Saga first and then Alan, switching to Alan only when forced to, so if you're looking for a particular part of either's storyline go through it in order. What slots have what points in time? I don't even remember. But I saved often and mostly in order, so if one save doesn't have what you want, try another. The date modified stamp on the files will tell you which is older or newer.
Most of this was played before Version 1.0.8 so I think I picked up some bugs along the way. Although I was able to complete the game you may be locked out of some achievements. If you want to 100% the game, do it yourself. All of these were played on Story mode difficulty.
Enjoy!
