yea but removing persistent on appdata and saves is good thing to let game "forget" some things while keeping saves.

as far as i know, local save in game folder has prio over appdata. I always copy the local game folder save and overrule appdata.
Even more, i actually delete my appdata saves when installing a new version, and just copy my game/saves folder.
Appdata is for ONE reason only - and only for that reason:
It's a fixed place wheeas the game/saves folder is a new one after each update. So for people who don't know how to copy-paste their savegames, that's a good thing. For "clear" savegames, it's better to copy the game/saves folder.

dunno if it got changed or not but in past appdata had prior1 so if edited save then needed to have it named differently than originally to get edits into game.

well those RENPY games i play have appdata\roaming\renpy and unity games have appdata\local if saves aren't in game folder.i am pretty sure that local has prio - but best practise: just delete appdata and rely on local saves
Why i am sure? -> there are games which don't even have appdata files!

and why i know that here are games without appdata?
Usually i used to delete the "old" folder after installing the new update - and several times i lost my savegames because there wasn't any appdata save. So i had to undo the delete. Since then i just delete the appdata saves and copy my local game/save files before i delete the old folder.
Personally I prefer it when apps store their settings in their own folders. That is why I use portable apps as much as possible. Easier to backup and reinstall.

and after you delete the games once they are finished, all the savegame trash is still stored there forever.
That's why i even consider to script a cronjob deleting my appdata files on a daily base in general. No one needs them

Well, seems like deleting the savegames from %appdata% doesn't harm anything. The exact files seemed to exist inside the game folder, at a cursory glance, and they seem to load just fine. I like it when things are in one place.

those are same saves, in appdata saves are as backup if deletes game folder saves.

well depending renpy version times and dates can be same on every save (try figuring out then what's latest save and what not).

Wow reviews on this game are total bulshit I must say, someone should look into this, every random frustrated kid can write review here? How such work can have 1-2 stars, they must be some real connoisseurs or total dipshits. Score of review shouldnt be affected by having or not having particular feature (like harem, ntr, inest etc) Story, design, animation overal taste this is what matters. Not saying its flawless 5/5 but it definatelly stands out in what we can find up to date.
