hey, i have a problem going on but first here's the context:

few months back my windows updated and it cleaned out all of the games i had downloaded. i recovered them using recovery app. i didn't downloaded them again cause it was a lot. but here comes the tricky part- they are were damaged so they didn't run. i know i shouldn't have recovered them in the first place cause the result is mostly that( i truly didn't searched for that thoroughly).

so now after all this time i downloaded the game again and tried to play it. now here's comes the problem- the game loads and there are a few save files already in it. i clicked them and they show error and games down. OK, they are corrupted, should have known that. Then i start a new game. the game doesn't have any choice making it just skips through chapters.

so i delete it, go to my recycle bin. empty everything and install it again while making sure that there isn't an old file related to it. same thing happens. so again i downloaded and installed it. this time copied the save file in the first page of the thread. the chapter 8 file. also with the gallery mod that is in other forum. ( i already have the game's original gallery save file in the game. it works but the same corrupt saves sot that why i installed the new one)

when i open the game i load a gallery save( i did try to save files in the first 2 tries just didn't mention it). i go to the gallery and any scenes just bug out like they either don't start or when the play the "error code" shows up. the one that says- rollback, ignore, etc. many times. and worst of all i cant even play any scene for chapter 12. it throws me out of game open a notepad that says chapter 12 doesn't exist.

so the problem in short-
1. why do the corrupt saves still appear?
2. why does it says chapter 12 doesn't exist in the gallery even after downloading a new game?
3. why doesn't the game shows me options for choices?
and more. I just don't remember at the moment



SO WHAT SHOULD I DO? :)

1. Could be because of AppData located in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\RenPy (Delete the "PowerVacuum" folder and then re-download the game)
2. Could be because of that corruption or from a corrupt Save folder being carried over. I made a mod that unlocks all chapters in gallery and makes Gallery navigation a bit quicker, so it could fill in the Gallery gap.
3. Idk. Generally, people post their errors and those willing to assist will. I'm watching some games on tv right now, so unfortunately, I won't be able to today.
