This is way better than I was expecting! This game was haphazardly slapped together with glue, a dream, and... some other third thing...
I'm gonna be real; I never even considered using the bullet point dot for text until you brought it up...
... also I never realised how hand-holdy I was, that one was not intentional... definitely noting that down for future development stuff!
As for that soft lock in particular, I have no idea what happened. I think something broke when fixing the enemies for that room... it's kinda funny to me that this happens so it's the new canon ending to the game!
Hope you have a great rest of your day!
