Thanks for the info! I have a fix for that, so I guess I'll have to release another update soon...
As for a hint: there's a bush below the Great Hall you have to interact with...

The thing you need to do in the interface is really unintuitive. I spent a long time going through every option in the menus before trying the simpler thing. That thing doesn't work on any other bush, and there are at least two things that do work on other vegetation elsewhere that don't work here.
Figuring out a puzzle is great, but this felt more like fumbling with the interface and trying to read the developer's mind without context, and that didn't land well.
But I loved the game, and can't wait until #3!
