Before I try to get into it, how is it supposed to work with taking your savefile to the next game? Feels like that is a thing here.
In my mind i overcomplicate some situations and think of the worste example I had heard so far sometimes.
You don't need to carry over your save files to the next game. Episode 1 is complete, and Episode 2 picks up right where it left off. Some of the choices you made in Episode 2 will be displayed at the start of Episode 3, and you can select them again (these are the ones that affect the ending of Episode 3). This also means you don't need your old save files.
