Have you done everything in the walkthrough up to that point? You might be missing a couple of scenes with Tina that is blocking you from hiring her. Because all you need to do to hire Tina as a bouncer is to talk to the man lifting weights, and she will automatically talk to you afterwards.
Which walkthrough? The 2 that are listed have nothing at all about buying the night club. The fan-made walkthrough is barely understandable. It's likely that part of my problem is that I started on chapter 3 without having ever played through chapters 1 & 2 and have been having to piece things together.
the pc in MC's room there is a help button thats all there is for ch 3 as far as a walkthrough goes
Finally figured out how to progress forward to buy the night club. Had to go to the night club during the day and talk to the cleaning lady. After that you can talk to the girl who works at the lingerie store. After that you go talk to Emma and Natalie in the sauna. Then talk to Steve in the morning out front of your house with the dog.
The walkthrough on the OP for Ch 2 has been updated, it contains chapters 1-3 to the current build.
I don't have a clue where you seen that it was only 31% because there is no progress stats given out side paid post but if your talk about the 31% complete on the page that is a money goal and has nothing to do with the game directly indirectly maybe but its by no mean the state of the game being completed
My WT is linked in the Chapter 2 section of the OP. Here it is again if you need it:
and as I said that 31% is his patreon money goal and doesn't have any connections to how close or far the game is to being done
