Getting to the end of third room of minigames with guy on table then the game hangs and nothing happens - can bring up the pause menu but can't click on the door. Console log is full of errors about a wrong keyboard handler but I think that's a general problem throughout the game, not specific to the ending.

Game description
Henry thought he found the perfect couch. Until he stumbled into a cult.
Henry must navigate a series of increasingly bizarre challenges, each more twisted than the last. As the cult’s true motives slowly unravel, Henry must decide: Can he outwit the cult and find his way out, or will he become just another pawn in their bizarre rituals?
Theme interpretation
To get to your desired free couch, you must perform secret handshakes with a bunch of cultists.

It is so fun and a little challenging in the end. I almost ask my friend to hold the left click for me.

Secret PassageWhat an experience! It felt like Alejandro Jodorowsky and Salvador Dali made a game together :P This is so crazy and creative!
The dithering graphics are absolutely stunning, I had to pause between levels to admire them, and I got a little frustrated that I couldn't see that much the handshakes because I had to focus on the letters and my keyboard. The minigames are great, I felt so silly doing these weird movements on my keyboard. The sound is also very fitting and the story/dialogues are wild (in a good way).
As is inevitable during game jams there are of course little flaws that would be worth fixing if you ever choose update your game after the jam. For one, there's the crash that others have mentioned in the third level which I also experienced (I tried a second time and was able to see the end of the game without any issue). The other easy fix that would improve the experience would be to have a way to either skip the tutorials or have it only appear the first time you play a new game.
But again, for a game made in just a month, this is top-notch quality and creativity. Awesome job!

My Grandfather's SecretHonestly, I'm kind of obsessed with this game. I LOVE the art and the minigames were so fun and creative. All the characters cracked me up. Really amazing job! (I did experience one crash, when playing against the guy on the table, but was so invested in finding out if the couch was real I replayed the whole thing to the end.)

Keep Your Sea CritsI am absolutely in love in this eccentric, saturated pixel art style and the witty, handful dialogues! The minigames are fun, adequately challenging and pace feels right. So many ways to do a handshake! Good work.

Peek a [Redacted]Great game! Love the atmosphere from the art style and music.
I loved the first minigame, it felt like I was playing twister on my keyboard. The time given was generous but also challenging for some of the key combinations enough.
The second minigame was personally my least favourite, especially with the 3 letter words with a short timer but having more possible words. I felt like I ended up cycling through letters on my keyboard instead of trying to figure it out. So for me this minigame felt the least in my control and least rewarding.
The third minigame was also fun and challenging, having to type with one hand really made me feel like how Henry would feel in that situation. Although there were some issues with this minigame, notably on the cultist lying down in the centre. First time I lost to him to overlapping or offscreen words, and the second time I faced him the game crashed after completing a word.
Though I did not finish the game, it was a great experience. You did an amazing job
