I replaced the save folder for the Steam version to avoid any confusion and inconvenience with other versions and the future full release of the game.

If you've already played the demo and have saves you don't want to lose, simply copy them from this folder:

%USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\Roaming\\RenPy\\How_To_Fix_The_Future-1611739901

to this new folder:

%USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\Roaming\\RenPy\\How_To_Fix_The_Future_STEAM

That way your progress will carry over to the full Steam version and there won't be any issues if you decide to play non-steam version of the game.

Sorry for the inconvenience, it's a one-time thing. After moving the saves, everything should work normally.

Let me know if you run into any issues!
