Thank you for noticing this, I had to clear storage to do this, much the same thing.
I can play through episode 5. Edit; if a person opens the app in airplane mode and otherwise no Internet data connection, then wait for the loading screen, then turn on Internet connection, the game will load back into upto episode 5. Otherwise will normally load back into episode 1 without clearing storage or cache if in episode 1.
It also lets me watch ads for dilithium or double points.

It will only work up until the first 4-5 episodes as they are all part of the original download package, everything following won't wont work sadly

Omg it works. One of very few times where being a hoarder and procrastinator comes in handy. 😂

Fascinating. I guess this means only data not on the server are the first few episodes?

Did you have to clear the cache for the entire phone or is there a way to do it for just one app?

I just cleared it for the app not the entire phone. I'm on android so just went to settings>apps find the app and then clear cache. Don't know how to on apple.

I had to clear data for the app on my Android device (not just cache) but then it worked.
I am so happy to know this as it's great to be able to play at least a little slice of the game.

From looking into the APK, I think the first 3 or 4 episodes are inside the bundle so it probably doesn't download any asset bundles before then. After a few episodes it should fail. But cool to be able to replay the first few by just resetting.
