The issue is the game page says that saves transfer between version updates.
I found my own answer though. The folder is now AppData -> RenPy/MonGirl , and saves are created there and locally. I copy into the right AppData folder and I'm good.
I completed a playthrough on version 4.3.7. Went through in one take, got a good end. And one tragic loss. Now, this might be a weird thing to say of a game that, mostly, is doing a thing no one has done before, but
Ravager does the thing it sets out to do, correctly. After that playthrough, I rank Ravager among the top 5 greatest THINGS I have experienced. I feel not only comforted by the character writing, inasmuch as they make tangible the themes I so very much enjoyed playing through narratively; I feel *spiritually enriched* to have done my run, to have cared for those characters; and I feel beyond invigorated to have been shown this team's take on the dynamics of the basic premise.
Once confirming this, I knew I would be purchasing, and so I grabbed it on Steam. And I will fanatically argue, unironically, that the game Ravager is when all its ero content is disabled, merits that purchase at full price.
A whole fifth phase to your tale to show yet! I am in.
