I'm having a bit of trouble finding the savefiles on mac, and also, seems to have no progress, stuck at "Ask if Ako need something" for the progress tip.
Update: There's a difference, that Application Support is the mac version of AppData, but I still didn't find the saves. Not a big issue.
The soft lock was right before the refurbished bodyframe. It's after the seamless bodyframe. I moved on from it using the tempfix code.
