Stuck in an Examine/Talk loop

I may have found a bug, I'm stuck in an examine / talk loop.

Each screen says 'type exit to leave', but it simply takes me back to the other examine or talking screen, I cannot get back to the rooms.

Happy to take this to email or something so that we don't spoil :)

(I could also be simply missing something too :D )

I'd love to know what infinite loop you got caught in, and more importantly how you got there!


Apparently you can use limited html markup to hide spoiler stuff on Itch.

It was when speaking with the Scholar, if I then type 'examine <x>' it would take me to the close up of the object, but would then get me stuck in a loop.

I could then type 'exit' and it would go back to talking with the Scholar, but if I type 'exit' again it will then take me back to examining the object I previously was and would not exit back to the room.

I'm not sure if I should be able to examine my inventory while talking with the Scholar however, so maybe that's where I'm going wrong :)

I'll do some more testing with the hermit too just to check if its a common bug when talking with characters.

That is indeed a bug! I'm implementing the fix right now. The current patch in development is fairly substantial so it's taking a bit to complete. We'll put out an announcement when it goes live.

Wonderful :)

Another bug I found is the ability to get infinite points, by asking the scholar about Karkarath, you can continue to ask the same question for infinite points.

lol Yeah, we were made aware of that bug recently. The patch already has the fix for that in place. To be fair, it's the only way you can get the 130th point! The actual max points is supposed to be 129. That one was a basic math error on my part. ^.^;

haha what a tease! I guess we'll wait for the special 1 point easter egg somewhere to complete the game.
