found a small bug on the browser version where i get stuck in a loop of rascal jumping in the water
i've tried that already, this happens every time i try to race for a 2nd time and i can ask to race again but nothing changes, all the barriers are still up and i can walk through the ones at the end but it wont allow me to swim out either. it is avoidable so doesn't really affect the game play much, what dose affect the gameplay however is the looping animation when i try to swim, i cant even press escape to load a chapter and it is absolutely random with when it happens and if it will let you out
I'm still trying to find the cause of the swim transition bugging out. I think it's related to a computer with low memory or a slower CPU. The game needs to be optimized and something in the swim transition seems to be framerate-dependent. :/
The way you've described the broken race, it sounds like the game is really confused and has maybe corrupted your savegame. Try using Chapter Select (the [C] key, or available in the pause menu) to rewind to the latest unlocked chapter. You'll lose a bit of progress and all your gossips will need to be replayed, but it should reset the game to an uncorrupted state.
I'll keep looking for fixes! Thanks for letting us know about the bugs! <3
