Huh, I seem to have gotten stuck in the bookstacks room. There was no way for me to go back, and going deeper into the stacks wasn't an option. Was I doing something wrong?

I'll refrain from voting for now, because this might just be user error and I'd hate to judge a game based on that, but please let me know how I can finish this game! :)

It should just be possible to go back by clicking on the green carpet near the bottom of the screen.  If that's not working then something is definitely broken.  Do you know what you did immediately prior, so I can try to reproduce it? Might also be helpful if you could open the browser developer tools and tell me if there are any weird error messages in the console?

All I did was enter the room. I tried multiple times, doing various things in the other rooms, no effect. It's like the trigger zone isn't there.

I did get one red error in the dev stack, though I'm not sure if it's related:
TypeError: a.default.detectStore(...) is undefined

I have no idea what could be causing that.  I don't think that error can be directly caused by my game (I don't have a function called "detectStore" anywhere in my own code or dependencies), but after some googling it looks like similar errors can be caused by the browser extension "Honey" conflicting with page content (not sure why that would affect the bookstacks room in particular, though).  Do you have that installed and/or did it say the error was produced by a file called `h1-check.js`?  Maybe try disabling browser extensions?

In any case, sorry about the bug & sorry for all the questions!  No need to keep helping with the troubleshooting if you don't want to. hankworx above suggests downloading via the itch app (or maybe try another browser?) if you still want to play it.

Never mind, I think you're right that this error is unrelated (but probably still caused by an extension).  Problem has something to do with PNG gamma correction; see my response to hankworx above.  Hopefully I'll be allowed to upload a fix at some point.  In any case, thanks for helping provide information!

The bug should be fixed now, if you're still interested in playing!  Understandable if not.
