You can try this:
1. Do 'Dissect code' on exe. Memory view-> Tools->Dissect Code
2. Search in 'Referenced strings' Memory view-> View->Referenced Strings
3. Search in 'All Strings'.
4. Look for strings starting with - or /. Or search words debug,mode, devmode, save etc.
5. With 'Referenced string' feature you can go to location it's being accessed.

Also if you are running game using auto created shortcut, then right click on it and see properties.
