Thanks for the reply and the explanation.
In Episode 1
When using the PC in your room)
You can track your relationship status for each individual girl. (Progress listed) Replays available.
Your weekly income from Photo shoots.
All repeatable scenes.
This is just a few.
In Episode 2:
All relationship (progress) stats are 0. No replays.
Weekly income from Photo shoots is 100. (In Episode 1, I was maxed with over 1800+ I believe)
No repeatable scenes carried over.

Good luck and I hope these changes allows a more robust VN/Game.
