I'm glad you added "that I've ever played" because I was about to point out old-school Dungeons & Dragons PC Games (again). THAT'S grind.

REGEDIT.EXE (help link below). Bit of reading, but this is good stuff to know anyway.
You must be registered to see the links
BACKUP the registery FIRST by doing an export.
You can search for sandlust, or goto the below. If you played BB, you'll see entries for Sandlust Games without the LTD bit, leave those.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Sandlust Games LTD
Inside this is a whole bunch of Glamor info, game setup info, unity ids, pledge info etc. I'd delete this Sandlust Games LTD to start fresh. Do this, save the registry, restart windows (just to make sure), and then do the new game thing again. As I never had the problem, I haven't done this. But if I did, this is the next step I'd try. It's all trying to get a fresh run of the game.
Yeah, but not all grind is created equal. Like killing stuff in fallout 3 say to get money and XP, well blowing limbs off in slow mo never seems to get old. For the D&D there was always getting that better loot also.
But sleeping, going to school, working etc. and clicking those buttons to do so (which has no entertainment value in itself) just because you something once per day, that does get old.
Now it could get better once it's fully done. It was mentioned that the side stuff that could happen (as it's open world) isn't added yet, so burning through a 10 day story line say is dull as nothing happens while you're burning through those days. And that would improve if other side lines (or just random) stuff would happen. But for now it's the worst of grind.
Had the same problem just now, fixed it by deleting both the sandlust folder in appdata\locallow (make sure to backup the folder somewhere else first) and the game folder (where the .exe is), then reinstall the game an run it, start a new game and see if you can save, if yes then move your save from the appdata backup to the newly created one (the folder inside the saves one should have different characters but it didn't affect my ability to load the old saves).
Hope this works for you

Here is solution to save-problem:
- delete ALL registry enrties with "SandLust" in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\
- copy somewhere c:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\LocalLow\Sandlust Games Ltd\glamour\saves
- delete folder c:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\LocalLow\Sandlust Games Ltd
- run game, start new and save it, close game
- copy your old save files named slot# to folder c:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\LocalLow\Sandlust Games Ltd\glamour\saves\<some_hex-code_name_foldef>\kate\ or \max\
This checked by myself and worked.

Gee, do you think it might have something to do with making a remake of DS's first abandoned game, that has a female only protagonist, then throwing in a gender-swap version of her that is later replaced with another remake of DS's other abandoned game?
Of course, not to forget that DS also later implemented a ratio of 2:1 in updates for Kate... Another highly likely contributing factor.
A simple cursory investigation of your own that would take less than even five minutes of your time would have answered your question before ever having to ask it.
