To the first half, both the mini stories and the extra scenes rely on saves you created along the way if you want to see the monce more. Well the extra scenes are in the recollection room, the mini stories not. But if you have no older save but the current one, let's say at the end of update 10 then you can only see the extra scenes in said recollection room. They are naturally implemented in the story and are not accessible if you miss them.I've been curious about the Mini-stories section in the guide, after completing what has been developed of the game and constantly overwriting my main file (yes i know, i wont do that again) i cant check many of these side-stories previous steps, is there a plan for them to be added in the reminisence room? Also been wondering about the extra scenes of the paid version, is there any special trigger for them (i.e. cant be seen after a certain mission, etc.)?
PS: If anyone knows what happens during steps 1,2&3 of "The mom and the bully" or has saves that can acces to those steps of the mini-story i'd be very thankfull if you could share a save or a small resume of what happens
For the second part, i'm not sure. There are differences between the mini stories. Some are more detailed like the fishsellers' wife. Others are so vague that you don't really know why they are doing what they are doing. Like mum and bully or the guitarrist.
Anyway, those 3 saves are for the first three steps of mum&bully. You should have the last one yourself.
You could also use them to see other mini stories i guess. But take care to not overwrite your own save files.
