Haha yup, we're definitely not writers here... very cringe to say the least.
Aw thats sad to hear! Yeah we ran into that bug after we submitted... It is so very odd, sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't? We honestly have no idea and never ran into it while playtesting beforehand. If you ever get curious about the ending you should totally try again and hopefully have a better experience!
We're happy you enjoyed!
