I don't either. However, it appears prima facie, to be a coding and script error (based on the answer given). Not going into the latter, we know it's a mess. For the former, I seem to remember it being said that for those who did not transfer their saves, Season 2 would have started as a new stand-alone game. Plus, initially the devs were only going to allow Steam and Patreon players to transfer saves. (There was a bit of a reactive outcry as a result.) In that scenario, it makes sense that the MC would not have any knowledge of Dakota and both he and Sabrina would not have any knowledge of the mushroom forest. Then the devs released that 'f' version which allowed for save transfers. So those who did manage to transfer their saves should have had the continuity. IMO the code that everyone got was the original free one (where players were to start the game afresh in Season 2 hence the reason why there was no variable input in Season 1 and hence the reason why a coding fix needed now.Umm, I'm not sure what you mean.
You did it that way because the MC now has a sudden case of amnesia and forgets that he knows Dakota and also about the huge mushrooms? Or did you add a condition there that will fix MC's amnesia in the next update?
BTW, I did transfer my save file, as I mentioned already.
It's just that the Q_Samantha and also Q_Lily are zeroes in VN mode in the season 1 finale and to play back the correct branch of the script there you would need an additional condition to select the correct branch of script.
Well, I guess, we'll see what you did there to fix it.
Thanks!
But then maybe I'm just spouting unmitigated balderdash.
