Hey thanks for the quick fix! I downloaded the update and now Wreckingball works great and I was able to successfully navigate that one (ending dot worked exactly as you described). However I am still having issues with the bottom left option not doing anything with Creaker. It doesn't always happen but eventually I hit a route where clicking it does nothing. I'm attaching a few screenshots of dialogue where this happened in case it will help.
I wanted to let you know that Creaker worked fine after the update and I was able to get through its encounter! I also wanted to point out that after I downloaded the update, when I went to the main menu, it showed that I had beaten Cow when I hadn't yet. I had already talked with Cow a few times and answered a few questions successfully but never made it through the whole thing. If it's just something weird that happened with my copy, then I don't really care. I just wanted to draw your attention to it to make sure that everyone doesn't now start the game with Cow having been cleared.
