Will this bug affect the next step of the game? Because nothing new happened after I handed over the envelope and the phone.
Yeah I know, I intentionally designed it that way. 🤗 Problem is nowadays there are very few challenging adventure games, because casual adventure games are way more appealing to the mass audience and therefore much more lucrative for the developers. Frustratingly hard puzzles and months of investment to solve a game isn't what the average adventure gamer nowadays is looking for. That's not bad per se, problem is the rising lack of diversity in the adventure game market. It all seems to drift towards easier and easier games, most are mere walking simulators. So to counter this tendency (only we indie developers can, because money isn't our motivation), all my games are way harder and way more frustrating than 99% of the adventure games released today. As stated in the game's description my aim was the level of hardness and frustration of a Sierra-Online adventure game, these games took weeks and months to complete without a walkthrough, not days, which is unthinkable nowadays. I hope it's somehow understandable, I mean there's a reason I put that frustration warning in the description.
Ok one last very very vague hint for this puzzle, which is also present within the game:
