Hey, thanks for the update, it's been great so far!

I just have a small question about save locations. Save transfer went great, but I ended up starting a new game to see the full intro scene for the new boss (Bella is adorable, and so is the protag's open crushing on her by the way, props to the writer!), but now the import function won't work. I've tested it several times, but the saved game doesn't actually change. Even when deleting some files I found in the app date, deleting the unzipped files, and redownloading the archive to unzip it again, there is still a save game.

I'm thinking that finding where the saves are would let me delete them, and that it could unblock whatever is going on with Import, since that worked okay on first launching the new version!

Could you point me to the files, or do you perhaps have another idea?

Thanks in advance!

Hey there! Thanks, I'm glad you liked the writing!

Sorry, I guess we forgot to put it in the patchnote, but we've already made it so that if the game loads the saves made in previous versions, it automatically resets your progress on the last scene (the one that was the last one in the previous updates) so that you could view the new, updated and expanded version that actually introduced the new characters without losing any of your other progress. If the issue you're experiencing is loading the save and it still thinks you haven't beaten Fin, that's what it is.

If that's not what you were referring to and there's some actual jam up with your save, I would recommend opening the 0.2.3 version and using the import feature there. When you go back to 0.2.4, it should pick it up automatically.

If you still want to nuke your progress (and, I mean, people can have their reasons, right?), it's in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\LocalLow\Tiger Roll Games\The After Hours Office Predators

Maybe the 0.2.3 save did port over and I didn't notice, but I can say for sure the scene rollback didn't happen. I got to challenge the new boss right away, and critically didn't get the filled out cutscene with Bella until I reset my progress, believing the text string I'd grabbed and stashed in a notepad doc would keep my upgrades and cash safe.

But now when I try and import, it says the data is incomplete or corrupted, no matter the version.

So it is likely I didn't use the export/import correctly the first time, and that my save just ported over while the text export was cut off either at copying or from pasting it in a single notepad line.

As for deleting the roaming file, I can also attest that I still had the option to continue even after deleting the two Player files there, so I don't think that's save date, though maybe they store scene progress?

As it stands my 21 day save is gone, so I'll be looking into a save editor to get our overworked MC a cash bonus and get around to completing the gallery once more...probably in a little bit, losing saves leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

Also, I've attached the save data, so you can check what is wrong with it if you want.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Just checked your code and yeah, it doesn't even go past HMAC verification, so, doesn't look good for anyone meaning to repair that string...

Not sure how much you did have, but I've made a save that should make some of the pain go away (by applying upgrades and cash benefits where it hurts):

Yeah, comparing the progress I remember having unlocks and upgrades-wise, it's obvious I cut off the larger part of it somehow!

I wasn't able to reproduce how that happened with the notepad program I used. The game reimported the save just fine. If I could make one suggestion, I've seen other games using text string exports with a copy to clipboard option. My case shouldn't be common, but it could come in handy, if it's not too much of a bother to fit in, alongside a confirmation message like when importing a save?

Thanks a lot for the save by the way, the upgrades are close, but the nest egg is a fair bit larger, I recall I only had 1K!

I'd been calculating our protag's max hourly salary at different stages of the game, and I wonder how much a full run on No Insurance might get him?

Anyway, thank you for the help!
