For anyone who is struggling to start Season 2 and like myself has spent hours getting run around on forums seeing assurances that you need only finish Season 1 and when you start Season 2 the game shall magically divine your save file and that if you have any issues it is somehow a problem with your Season 1 files and maybe you should download the 8 entire fucking gigs again just to be sure.

Ignore all of that shite. Just copy the Season 1 save file into the Season 2 root directory, like every other fucking game ever. That is it. That is all you have to do. I don't even know if I'm happy I finally fixed it or if I'm geniunely livid it took so long. Holy shit.

I'm not sure what happened with you, but if you follow the developer's instructions and click "continue" and not load, it works. I had no problems going to season 2.

I very much promise it didn't for me. I got all the right text at the end of Season 1, and then Season 2 simply did not start once I clicked new game (instead giving the infuriating "go play Season 1" message). I expect this is because I am using an emulator to run the Windows version on Android, and the files paths are different to what the game expects.

That is by the by though, I am mostly just befuddled why manually transfering the save file to Season 2 isn't the first fix recommended. It is so easy to do and is about two orders of magnitude faster than downloading the entire Season 1 all over again.

The recommended fix of downloading Season 1 again and the transfering your save file to it before finishing the game again, already requires you to transfer a save file! Why not just skip all that crap and tell people to transfer the save file to Season 2 instead?

Anyway, I'm sorry for the rant lol.

It's all good, no worries on rant. If I ever realized anything about these games, nothing ever works the same.
