Note for the judges playing the game, when restarting the game there is an issue with the final dialogue scene.

The final "acceptance" scene will not play after you have died once and restarted the game. As this scene is part of the ending and meant to be the crescendo of the game, if you want to experience it again on your second run after restarting you will have to close and re-open the game.


This bug is due to a flag that prevents dialogue scenes from being repeated. The flag does not get reset after restarts. This bug does not affect the first play through of the game, but as the game is short and quite hard you may want to do multiple playthroughs to experience different dialogue options and see more scenes
