im in the same situation, i saved and quit the game, loaded back and i cant do the quests even i cant sleep
this version is all bug
Well after some test I found in the discord of the game that for some reason Unity Has two folders where places two stages of our saved games.
The first is in the main folder of the game "C:\FolderwhereYOUinstalledthegame\Afterglow v0.2.5d winx86_64\Afterglow_Data\Saves".
In there the game will save the quest state and the INGAME progress, money, etc.
The Second folder, and the location that has given problems to us is in "C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Soft Moan\Afterglow"
In there the game will save the HIDDEN progress of the game, the locations that you have unlocked, lab, home of your friend, home of your teacher. I guess that the system is in that way in order to prevent that we access places out of order, but this solution has a huge problem, the second folder, for some reason, restarts every time we close the game, so, in short, you WILL have problems with your save files if you (for whatever reason) close the game and then re-open it.
So, if you want to experience all the game. DO NOT CLOSE IT even for once. Also try to avoid sleeping in your bed if you want to advance time, instead use the option in the upper corner of the game. AND ONLY USE THE BED in the last hour of the day, if you need to change from day to day- Example: Monday to Tuesday. This is because you can be soft locked in the same day, because the bed bugs itself and only skips time in the same day.
If you want to look only the new stuff, Try deleting: "C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Soft Moan\Afterglow" and then use the save file that comes with the game.
And that's it. I wish all good luck. The game has great renders and the story is fun enough to give it a try.
PS: if you can't leave the room in the tutorial section of the game or doesn't found your ID, you must restart your play-trough inside the game until you can leave by clicking in the bed, the closet, the computer and nightstand.
