Debug.Log is not just displaying the log in the Console tab. It is also saving to a file.

If using the Editor, you can find this log file at:

Windows:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Unity\Editor\

MacOs:

~/Library/Logs/Unity/Editor.log

When you build it, you can find the log file at:

Windows:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\<CompanyName>\<ProductName>\output_log.txt

MacOs:

~/Library/Logs/Unity/Player.log

Linux:

~/.config/unity3d/<CompanyName>/<ProductName>/Player.log

Universal Windows Platform:

Desktop - %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages<productname>\TempState\UnityPlayer.log

Windows Phone - Can be retrieved with Windows Phone Power Tools.

If that's not enough for you then you have to implement your own. Make a simple log function that saves to the end of file with any System.IO API such as File.AppendText.
