I call my first master student for individual meeting and he cries afterwards 10/10
I’m really enjoying this game. I’ve put in 30+ hours already, pretty much nonstop, and it’s been weirdly motivating while I work on my own paper. I get to pretend I’m an idle professor too lol.
That said, after the update earlier today, I ran into some kind of save issue. I’m not totally sure whether it was caused by the update, the game, or something on my end, but after quitting and reopening it, my progress seemed to be gone.
It’s definitely a bit painful after that many hours, especially since I had already reached rank 6. But I still like the game a lot. I’ll probably start over and keep playing. Just wanted to mention it in case anyone else runs into the same thing.
