Those kind of versions numbers are wrong and cause confusion. (same happened when there was version 0.9 and the next was version 0.10 instead the correct successive mathematical version number that is always version 1.0 (I have already posted this personal opinion in May or June, but I'm not sure if the post was deleted);)

Back to current days, the episode was split in 2 parts and there is no reason to add the version number, just use EP2.1 Complete! (or EP2 part 1)
The EP2.2 should be named as a more logically version EP2 part2 v0.1!
This will allow to easy understand that the EP 2.2 is the second part of to EP 2.1 complete.
If DM continue to call it as 0.16 and 0.17 it is easy to confusing people.
And they will ask again and again:
"why I cannot use old saves from 0.15 in V17?".

I understand the dev because he had to work very hard for make this game better and better...
so I'm not complain to him (maybe his collaborators would do that instead to stay here to be watchdogs)

the reality is:
EP2.1 must be restarted from the beginning to avoid issue with old saves and finally appreciate the story of monica without asking for help... because before the EP2.1 this game was barely playable (confirmed by the great amount of help requests about be stuck or bugs)without help and als the walkthrough can't help.
(the scenes are too much repetitive to understand if you have already done or not the correct quests without Event List)
EP2.2 is actually at version 0.1!

EP2.1 was deeply revisited by also reduces the rooms Monica have to clean from 3 to 2 in the "Betty" I know is Monica house but... house (i think only one room/day would be better)

I can confirm that the EP2.1 is very near to be perfect... because when you save and have to do other stuff for days... when you back to the game you'l not be able to know without going to be crazy to remember what is the next quest to do and what was the already completed quest done

DM have done a great work with the new Event List. it is really amazing!
I will for sure revisit my review when I finish the EP2.1
for now I have put 2 stars-- just for the Event List.

Thank you very much to DecentMonkey
Very interesting. Are you a game developer?

Your question is confusing but i'll give it a go.
When you say "I can only get to where the maid started" I'm assuming you mean when Monica begins her job as a maid at her old home. If my assumption is correct then you need to make a save at the end of ep1 in Monica's new bedroom (Julia's old room). When you then begin ep2 load the save you made in the new bedroom from ep1. The saves are visible from the ep2 saved games screen

To play from start to finish this method must be used. Although you can just answer the questions at the beginning of ep2 to match your ep1 playthrough. The only difference starting fresh on ep2 is Monica will always have Julia's panties on when waking up.
Very thanks, i'll try. :)

Unfortunately, my friend. every time I tried, the game collapsed. I bought the game on Steam. So I wrote to the producer on Twitter. If I can find a solution, I'll add it here. Thanks anyway. :)

Ok so you have bought ep1 on steam and are having trouble getting the steam ep1 saves working in ep2. I have no idea if the steam versions are compatible with the new ep2 versions. One of the development team who post here will have to answer that.
My advice would be to download the ep2.1 that is on the first page of this thread, start a new game from that and enter the choices you made in ep1. As I stated in my previous post the only difference doing it this way is Monica has Julia's panties glued to her when she wakes up early in ep 2.

if I remember well you have to talk to the photographer and ask about where is Melanie
in any case the new Eveni List will help you in this case
it is hard to help if you are using old saves... is your Event List active?

I've played this game too long... Such an addictive time-suck. ( and that's praise ).

I realized too late that the secret to seeing all the content appears to be to play all the paths and just keep a mental conception of Monica not doing the things she wouldn't really do, but save the game with her having done everything.

Hi there and welcome to our little corner of the internet.
I totally agree that at this point of the games development we are better off just letting Monica agree to all the current paths.

As you wrote in your spoiler having Monica work as a VIP escort and the next day blowing a bloke on the street for a lot less money doesn't make any logical sense and most of the other paths don't logically work together either. Hopefully when this game is completed there will be significant consequences and a variety of endings from choosing one path over another or even mixing paths together.

Unfortunately the best we will get I believe are a number of alternate endings to close off episode 2 (like we had a couple in ep1)with one possible scenario continuing into ep3.

For now I'm just enjoying the ride while ignoring a lot of the points you brought in your post.

Great first post. I wish there were more like it.

I love it. You have introduced doublethinking to our gaming experience. In my playthrough Monica is an escort, a stripper and a street whore, but in my mind she is practically a virgin.

Does anybody know which switch needs to be switched if you chose no for the stranger bj? I think I misread it saying; Do you want to postpone?
I'm talking about Renpy save editor.

I want to try this game. Which version (versions) I should download to play from the beginning? Episode 1 (separately) and then Episode 2.1 v0.16 or Episode 2.2 v0.17 (which of them?)
