I did try to make clear in the description that there is an end to the game, on the hope that people who got stuck would keep in the back of their mind "I may be stuck but there is a path forward, somewhere", though that's pretty easy to miss. Also yes my friend is insane it took him like 3 hours to play through it, with a bit of help from me to point in the right direction after a while, mostly because I could not bear for him to voice the same lines so many times.
