Game keeps crashing my PC, items stopped working, can fall through the level

I'm not sure if anyone else has run into this issue but after about 10 minutes of play the game causes my PC to blue screen and restart. This keeps happening. I have been able to play it by saving and exiting every few minutes. This has made my progress incredibly slow as the game takes a long time to exit and restart, but I usually get about 10 minutes of play time before I need to stop or the game crashes my PC. However my game state seems very messed up after the last time it crashed. There might be slight item spoilers ahead.

I am not able to use locker key #29 to retrieve the monocle. I got it before the crash, but then since I lost my progress, now the key does nothing and I can't get the monocle anymore. I am also not able to add the A key to the piano. I hold out the key but it doesn't create an outline like the previous keys. Strangest of all, when I enter room 206 there is no room at all. Instead it is like the room is chopped off and I can see outside as well as the interior of other rooms. I am posting a screenshot. If I step through I start to fall down through the level and it eventually warps me to the front lobby. I know the game is surreal but I'm assuming this is not intended.


As I am unable to get the monocle or use the last piano key I believe I cannot progress forward anymore. Has anyone else run into any issues like this and know of any fixes or workarounds? Considering I have to segment my play in small chunks anyway I am about to give up on this game entirely. I was very curious to see what happened but might just have to rely on walkthrough videos at this point. I was trying to play through all of the works of Cosmo D in preparation for the new game but Off-Peak would also crash my PC (less frequently than this game). I might just have to accept his games don't work for me which makes me very sad.

I am on the Itch Windows desktop app if that is helpful. Playing on Windows 10 with a PC and a GTX 970  graphics card.

Sorry you're having trouble - send your saves to support -at- cosmod.net and I can try to get it sorted.   Also, there should be an output.log associated with the game that could point to the source of the crash.

I really appreciate you reaching out and doing it so quickly! I've just sent you an email.
