CreepyDates Chapter 3 Guide
Chapter 3 is officially available and supported here when the browser build loads correctly. Learn how to inherit your save, explore new features, and use the official PC, Mac, or Android downloads if your device has browser issues.

How to Unlock Chapter 3 (Save Inheritance)
Before you start: use the current Chapter 3 build and keep your final Chapter 2 save. Browser and downloaded saves do not sync automatically, so follow the save steps below if you switch platforms. To continue your journey without losing progress, load your final Chapter 2 save so the game can transition into Chapter 3. If you switch between browser and downloaded builds, you may need to migrate or import your saves manually. If you encounter bugs, crashes, or lock problems during save migration, check our troubleshooting guide for assistance:
Windows PC
%APPDATA%/RenPy/creepydates/ or game/saves/macOS
~/Library/RenPy/creepydates/ (Press Cmd+Shift+. to show hidden files)Android
Android/data/com.creepydates.game/files/saves/Confirm you are opening the current Chapter 3 build, not an older extracted folder or shortcut.
Load your latest Chapter 2 save file, ideally from the final scene or chapter transition point.
Let the Chapter 2 ending and transition play through completely. Do not quit during the chapter card or epilogue sequence.
If you are moving from browser play to a downloaded build, copy or import your save data into the target saves directory, then launch the current build and load that save again.
