Hi! I’m enjoying the game; currently just exited the creepy catacombs. I ran into a crash here on the map:

I was walking through that room and got hit by an angry dog, so I went into the pause menu to choose “retry”. I heard a strange noise, accidentally pressed the wrong key (I don’t know what), heard another strange noise, then pressed “retry” and the game crashed:

I think the strange noise was just the dog playing a high-pitched/sighing sound effect I didn’t recognize? but it was weird that it played a second time while I was in the menu the whole time.

text version of the error:

First of all I am happy that you enjoy the game. Thank you for the detailed bugreport.  I can't tell you what was going on with the sound but I solved the reason why your game crashed. The problem is when you restart the game  all objects will be deleted but always in  a different order and some ojects still run their code while others are already deleted. The background alienbones object wanted to communicate with the lighting object but it was already deleted. So I now had to change it in a way that the bones ask if the lighting object exists before they run their code. I guess this  bug is solved now. But  I can't guarantee that similar bugs won't appear,  luckily this kind of crash is not so problematic because you won't lose any progress.
