I'm sorry you're having issues. Just so I can understand, you launch 0.8.1, and create a new game, and what happens?
Please ensure you are extracting the game to a new location and not overriding the old version.
Can you also try returning to 0.8?: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/wkuepnso71llg/v0.8
rolling back to 0.8 seems to have fixed the bug (i haven't played through the new content, yet I just tested it)
in 0.8.1 upon starting a new game no matter when and where I save it upon loading it will always bring me back to the bedroom even if i saved in another location or mid event dialog often resetting some or all of my progress for that day.
I think I see what you mean, I think I've made it too aggressive by moving you back to your room whenever you load a save. I meant that to be in place for when you change versions, not every time. So yes it could interfere with a current scene in progress.
Sorry for the inconvenience, I will have this resolved next time.
