Sigh of the Abyss

Bug at the end of the game

Right at the end of the game after leaving the Hall, I get stuck on a screen of Alpheon saying "Wine, good company, and a lovely view from the mezzanine of the Rose".

Game seems bugged here, the waterfall is still moving  in the background and music is playing, but no button pushing works to progress the game, open settings or anything.

Help would be much appreciated, I think I'm so close to the end. ;_;

Looking into it! Does loading the auto-save made at the end of the scene work?

Unfortunately there is a notification in the corner that says "progress saved", but when I back out and go back into the game (to get around the crash), there isn't an auto save there.

Are you able to save in the scene outside the Halls, before Alpheon says the line?

I might have found the issue, I'll push a hotfix that should let you access the end (but knowing if you can save is still valuable!)

You have most definitely fixed the issue, thank you so much! My heart is so full for these characters. <3

Unfortunately the last place I can save is, as little spoilers as I can give, in the Abyss' palm, if that makes sense? Any saves I try to do after that just make the game freeze.

Again, thank you so much! I absolutely adored this game (hence why I smashed it out in a day) and I'm looking forward to whatever else you guys do!

So glad to hear it!! 

Removing the autosave is not an elegant solution, but I'm still trying to find what causes it to crash—it's the point where all the main choices made during the game converge, and there are... a lot of possibilities 馃槄

Hello! I'm having the same issue, but while dreaming of the Abyss immediately after The Bowels of Earth. The "progress saved" popup appears, and then I can't continue or select any menus. The autosave there doesn't work, and if I try to manually save during that scene, it won't save and immediately stops letting me select anything.

Developer

Looking into that scene!

Developer

Can you save normally during the rest of the scene, or is it only blocked when dreaming of the Abyss?

Are you perchance romancing Alpheon?

I am not romancing Alpheon.

It looks like I stop being able to save around the decision to eavesdrop or look for alternate exits.

Developer

I am able to reproduce it, working on a fix!

Thanks for your hard work! I've really been enjoying the game so far.
