Hi Sabririna! I'm happy to hear you liked the game, it means a lot to me >\\\<
Another played reported the same issue, it's a bug unfortunately! I'm with the game open trying to solve it but I'm not able to replicate it, may I ask what you did right before reading the text? Did you speak to Gareth on floor 3? Thank you for your patience ;w;
I ran into the same bug. It would happen if I went into Gareth's room after the flashback cut scene with Zakhar and Gareth, and the conversion with Zakhar. Zakhar would come after me to kill me, like he does in the "bring him" path, but regardless of what I'd done beforehand in between the cut scenes and Gareth's room. The only way I got around it was going into his room before seeing the secret room with Zakhar.
