i had skipped the Exit, gone to see the pump gear rooms and turned them all off despite not knowing what they did. then i went through the exit door. it said i needed to get rid of the putrid water and then got stuck there on the grey text screen and wouldn't let me click to go to the game again.  reloading repeated the issue. i assume i broke the game by doing the solution before reading the problem. do i need to start over?

thanks for including the game in the pal/ukraine bundles.
