Just a little update for people who might read my previous comment: the dev team was very helpful and uploaded a new build to the game page so that the softlock I experienced shouldn't happen anymore (though the lock bug itself remains a mystery for now). I did finish the game on the same save file and I had a good time with this game! The mystery and characters were both very engaging, the voice acting fantastic, and I enjoyed the ability to organize the clue board as I wanted myself. Definitely do recommend checking it out!
