The new version didn't load at first either, until I removed the save files from /users/(name)/AppData/Roaming/RenPy/Paprika Trainer. (Why I didn't think of that before I don't know, I suspect I was either tired or an idiot). I tried placing them back in one by one and version 1.0.2.1 works fine until I put the persistent file back in- allowing a new persistent file to be created and moving the old saves back in gives no problem.
The old/problematic persistent file is attached.
The only nonstandard thing I can think of doing is that I did use the Shift+O console to change the "cash" variable to 9999.
Thank you again for looking into this! Hopefully you can figure out what's going on.
I'm happy to hear that it got fixed. Unfortunately, just having the persistent file won't show me much. It's a weird bug that suddenly reared its ugly head one day and although deleting the persistent file seems to fix it, I have no idea what's causing it.
Also using console commands shouldn't be the problem, so feel free to use those.
So the story is finished it says but theres still some missing content like the flashbang belt upgrade and the jetpack and other miscellaneous shit.
As the others suggested a freeroam would be nice but so would an option to re-fuck the prisoners. More side-ho content too.
Just a random typo that i came across as well: one of the dialogues from the milkshake bar after hours. alex comes back and talks about shoving cherries up her ass. the guy says he will get her some "anal beats"
one question. what was that Shift+O command for the christmas stuff?

Make sure you download the latest version. I've added a beta freeroam mode after the credits. It just hasn't been tested yet.

As for the Christmas stuff:
Open the dev console and type in:
