Don't read this if you didn't do Lars Special Episode

Sooo i have a little problem. In Lars special episode i accidently rolled back during Walter's dream, and i can't see the dream again.... Is it intentionnal ? And is there a way for me to see this dream scene again (well actually too see it for the first time) ?

I noticed this mutiple times during my sessions, one in Mark's route during the early morning he invited Walter to the park and another one in Gil's route when Talbot speaks to Walter just outside or the scool if i remember. There were brief flashes, like screen bug flashes or something, but when i try to see the event again, it just isn't here anymore.... I feel like it's part of the plot since Walter has memory issues and the more we try to see (like roll back and see the scene again) the less we actually see. I bet our minds will be completly blown once we reach the climax of this VN.

By the way this is just genius story but right now i'm missing something i couldn't witness so i try not to strangle myself too hard for now haha.... pls help

PS : Loved this VN since i started to play like 2-3 years ago, love it even more now ! Keep up the amazing work and have a good day/night !

Haha, there's a lot of one-time only events, so gotta careful about rolling back.

There's a way you can see them again, but it needs you to delete some files on your end.

What files do i need to delete ?

I don't really want to mess up the game files but i'm willing to try so i can at least witness the scene you've wrote, I would feel bad to just miss it because of my mistake.

the persistent file

it's in your system drive, under appdata > roaming > renpy.

Had to reinstall the game but it worked ! And it was Interesting (even tho i didn't understand what was going on but i guess that was on purpose).
Thank you for your time and have a wonderfull day !

PS: Anders day 8 actually made me cry, and it takes a lot for me to cry sooo... man good job !

I don't have the VN installed through itch, instead I play it through folders from patreon, but I assume that the process is just done by going through the renpy folder. In it I see 2 persistent files, "persistent.py" and "persistent.pyo". Did you delete both of them for this to work?

Yanchu2 years ago

I did yes but it didn't work, when i loaded a save or played the episode all over again i wasn't able to see the 'one time' scenes so i just deleted everything in the appdatta folder and reinstalled the game completly. It made me loose all my progression (% of reading that we can see at the 'about' option in the game) but i was able to see the 'one time' events all over again

Thing is, I don't have an appdata folder in the entire VN's folder, so I'm assuming this is a thing exclusive to when you're playing it directly from the itch app, which presents a problem at the moment since the patreon build version on app seems to have not been updated since last September, and the recent Patreon builds have been folders

The appdata folder is separated from the game folder and i think it's not exclusive to the app, before i started to use it i downloaded the games directly via the site and i had an appdata folder. If i uninstall the game in my games folder, the files in the appdata folder aren't deleted, so if i re-install the game i get to keep my save files and my progression (read text), at least that how i understand it (i'm no expert hehe).

I remember buying a version of the game for like 5 dollars just before it went on hiatus last year (?), but i didn't have to buy the limited version of Lars special episode, i just downloaded it and now i wonder how could i do that if this version of the game apparently wasn't free....? And i don't remember if i downloaded it via the itch app or via the itch site but either way i got the game folder and the appdata folder so i don't know what else to say
