Yes, you do need to go to the forest
ok nevermind, it finally worked. the trick is turn on and off the flashlight for some reason. that can prevent you progressing.
Except from that, the game is really well made, sound design is really creepy, good job.
Oh... ok then, glad that you worked it out :) Thanks for playing and finding this nasty bug, it helps me a lot to polish stuff for the full version.
