Help restoring seen content to unseen in Ren'py

[bassackwards]

I am wanting to replay a game and follow the different paths but I dont want to completely replay each path. I simply want to see the different content for each path. The problem is that I have seen all of it before and the tab to skip seen content doesnt differentiate between the new content for each path.

Is there a way to restore the game to the default state where all of the content is new so that I can play through one path and then, start a new game to replay a different path and just tab through to skip the content I have seen before on the previous path? I was tinkering around with the console and the different versions of Unren but I havent had any luck.

1- delete the persistent file by pressing windowskey+r, typing in %Appdata%, going to RenPy, then finding the folder of the game and deleting it.
2- also delete the persistent file on the 'gameFolder'/game/saves folder
3- run the game (if you delete only one of the files above, it be recovered and there will be no effect)

Alternatively, it's possible to just make Ren'Py loose its memory of the lines it already seen, without loosing the rest of the persistent values ; like the gallery, or things like that.

Since it need the console, firstly create a new file named "console.rpy" in "[path to the game]/game/", then
open the file and put this inside:

init python:
    config.console = True

Or use unren (

Then run the game, press shift + o to open the console, and type:
persistent._seen_ever = {}.
