from now on my android ports of Ren'Py games have a 2nd, persistent save location like windows. if you uninstall an app, the save files and persistent data remain intact.
therefore the app needs the permission to access the public external storage (or a new one on Android 11 ), because it has to read and write outside its own external storage directories.
you have to grant the permission or the app is shut down.

That was my bad. I missed the tag insertion. I'll fix it in the next update. That means everyone will need to save the game while Bobby Sue is eating dinner. Or will have to start a new game on the next release. Renpy will consider that a major change and the old saves won't work if you save the game after she goes to MC room.
So be sure to save the game before Bobby Sue leaves the Tabel. Or as long as you have a saved before she drops the towel your good.
