Mobile visual novels often pull players into their storylines, but sometimes there comes a time when you want to start the story from scratch. In the game Romance Club (ROMANCE CLUB) this may be required for various reasons: from the desire to choose a different path for character development to technical errors that block further progress. However, unlike many other applications, here the resetting process is not always obvious due to the connection to social networks.
Users of the operating system Android face a number of nuances, since standard reinstallation of the application often does not lead to the desired result. The data is saved on the developer’s servers and restored when you log in again. To actually start the game again, you need to perform a series of actions that affect both the application itself and the accounts associated with it. Below we will analyze in detail all the available methods.
Features of saving data in the game
Before taking radical measures, it is important to understand the architecture of saving progress in ROMANCE CLUB. Developers use cloud synchronization to protect player data from loss when changing devices. This means that your current level, diamonds and selected answers are stored not only in the phone’s memory, but also on a remote server linked to your account.
The main identifier is most often a social network account VK or Google Play Games. If you entered the game through your VKontakte profile, then when you delete and reinstall the application, the system will automatically pull up the old data. Simply deleting the icon from the desktop in this case is absolutely useless for resetting progress.
There is also local caching, which stores temporary files, graphics and scene scripts. Clearing this section may help with freezes, but will not delete your selection history. To completely reset, you need to break the connection between the current game profile and the save server.
⚠️ Attention: Before performing any actions, make sure that you really want to lose all accumulated progress, including purchased diamonds and open seasons. It is almost impossible to restore a deleted profile through developer support.
If you just want to create a new character without losing your main account, check for the "Add profile" function in the game settings, if it is available for your version.
Method of clearing application data through settings
First step The reset procedure involves working with local application files on your smartphone. This method allows you to delete the cache and forcefully stop processes associated with the game. Although this does not always erase cloud progress, it is mandatory preparation before the next steps.
Go to the main settings of your device and find the section Applications or Application Manager. In the list of installed software, find Romance Club. By clicking on the name, you will be taken to the app management menu, where we are interested in storage parameters.
You need to find the button Clear data or Erase data. Do not confuse this with the "Clear cache" button, since the latter deletes only temporary files without affecting the login settings. Confirm the action in the pop-up window. After this, the game icon may temporarily disappear or return to its original installation state.
☑️ Preparing to reset data
After completing this procedure, when starting, the game should behave as if it was installed for the first time. However, if you previously logged in through a social network, the system may again prompt you to log in to your old account. Here lies the main catch, which requires additional actions.
Unlinking from the VKontakte social network
The most reliable way to reset progress on Romance Club on Android is to break the connection with the VKontakte account to which the game profile is linked. While this connection is active, the server will automatically restore your save whenever you log in.
Go to the application or mobile version of the site VK. Go to your profile settings section. You need to find the item responsible for application settings or privacy. In different versions of the interface, this section may be called differently, but the essence remains the same - managing access to third-party apps.
Find ROMANCE CLUB or Romance Clubin the list of active applications. Click on it and select the option Delete application or Revoke access. This action will inform the game server that the current VK user no longer has rights to access this game profile.
| Action | Where running | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Clearing cache | Android Settings | Deleting temporary files |
| Erase data | Android Settings | Resetting local login settings |
| Revoke access | VK Settings | Disconnection with game profile |
| Deleting account | Settings VK | Complete deletion of a social network profile |
After revoking access, return to the game. When trying to log in via VK, the system must create a new, clean profile, since the old one no longer exists for this access token. This is the most effective method for those who want to start a new story without creating new accounts on social networks.
Using alternative accounts to log in
If you do not want to unlink your main social network account or the method of revoking access did not work correctly, you can use the account substitution strategy. The essence of the method is to enter the game with a completely new identifier.
To do this, you will need to register a new account in VK or use login via Googleif you previously only used VKontakte. In your phone settings, add a new Google account to the Accountssection. Make sure synchronization is enabled.
Run Romance Club. On the welcome screen, where you are usually asked to log in via a social network, select a different login method. If you chose to sign in with Google, the system will prompt you to select one of the profiles available on your device. Choose one that has not previously been used in this game.
This approach guarantees the creation of an absolutely clean save. You will receive a new character, zero diamond balance and access only to the first chapters of free stories. This is an ideal option for testing different options for plot development without the risk of losing the main progress.
⚠️ Attention: The application interface and social network settings can be updated by developers. If you do not find the described menu items, check the latest help in the official community of the game or in the VK help section.
Why can’t you just delete the game?
Simply deleting an icon does not affect files stored in the protected Android memory and does not send a signal to the server about breaking the connection with the account social networks.
Technical nuances and possible errors
During the process of resetting progress, users may encounter various technical difficulties. One of the common problems is data caching on the ISP side or the use of third-party launchers, which can block the correct clearing of application data.
Sometimes after all the manipulations, the game continues to load the old profile. In this case, try completely uninstalling the application, restarting the device, clearing the data (if the icon remains) and only then installing the game again from the official store Google Play. The use of third-party APK files may lead to incorrect operation of the authorization mechanisms.
It is also worth considering that some stories in Romance Club are strictly tied to the server time of events. If you reset your progress in the middle of a time-limited event, you may lose the opportunity to participate in it, since new accounts often do not have access to archived or current seasonal activities under the same conditions.
If you use multiple devices, make sure that you reset your progress on all of them, or at least revoke access on the main device. Synchronization can occur at any time, and if there is an active session with old data on the tablet, it can overwrite the new progress on the phone.
The most reliable way to start over is to revoke application access in the settings of the social network to which the game account is linked.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Is it possible to restore progress after a reset?
Unfortunately, no. Once you have unlinked your account or created a new profile, the old data is considered deleted. The developer support service does not restore progress at the user's request, especially if the reset was deliberately initiated through access settings.
Will purchased diamonds be lost during a reset?
Yes, all currency tied to a specific game profile will be lost. In-app purchases are often tied to an account ID. When creating a new profile, the balance will be zero. It is possible to restore purchases through Google Play only if they were made on the same Google account, but the game must recognize it as the same game profile, which is unlikely if reset.
Do you need to delete your Google account to reset?
No, you do not need to delete the Google account itself from the phone. All you need to do is in the game settings or when logging in, select the option to log out of your current profile or add a new Google account to log into the game. Deleting an account from the Android system will affect the operation of mail and other services.
Why does the game ask to update after resetting the data?
After clearing the data, the application loses information about the current version and installed resources. When first launched, it checks the client version with the server and downloads the necessary data packages. This is normal behavior, make sure you have a stable Internet connection.
Is it possible to reset progress in only one story?
There is no such option in the standard functionality of the game. Progress is reset globally for the entire account. To start a specific story again, you will have to reset your entire account or create a new one, which will affect all available stories.
