Hmm... This game is not saving in default RenPy saves location? That's a little bit sad - because I've made a SymbolicLink to the OneDrive folder for whole RenPy save folder - and for this game will have to do the same manually - and that means that I'll have to do more management - because it's installation folder of the game - which can change on reinstalls and stuff... :( 
(Symbolic Link is a type of a shortcut - which makes a parallel linking of folder. Meaning - that in my scenario - if I navigate from the appdata folder into the RenPy and then even in subfolders - the address bar says that I am still under the appdata folder - even if my actual location is E:\OneDrive\SymbolicLinkRootFolder\SavesVirtualFolders\RenPy\ therefor applications do not see that something is off - because address under %appdata% still works as if the folder is actually there even when not :) )

Like I have this setup:

Push-Location 'C:\'
New-Item -Type SymbolicLink -Path 'SavesVirtualFolders' -Target 'E:\OneDrive\SymbolicLinkRootFolder\SavesVirtualFolders'
Pop-Location
Push-Location '%appdata%'
New-Item -Type SymbolicLink -Path 'RenPy' -Target 'C:\SavesVirtualFolders\RenPy\'
Pop-Location

i am not sure with one drive folders but saves on windows will be in app data- renpy- lucky Paradox folder. That’s where all your saves are stored and allows them to carry over to the next update. 

Actually, not.. but:
C:\Itch Games\lucky-paradox\Lucky_Paradox-v0.7.5-pc\game\saves... But yeah, made already symbolic link, it's just a little nuisance that this game requires other manual linking.
But now it works perfectly fine - and saves are for me in sync with OneDrive (kinda feels like cloud save :D )

hmm... actually in your said folder there are also saves... weird.. But those saves are not the same that currently game sees..

Ok.. it seems that both folders have same content (probably  because the first time I messed up the symlink and therefor it didn't saw the save on first load So I guess - I can remove my override symlink and just use the RenPy default one (which I fixed already)...
