Hi again! I'm back for another dive into the tense and panicked atmosphere of the asylum. So glad that teddy bear didn't eat me...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--> Looking closer at the teddy bear:

"Probably a well-loved." -> doesn't need the a .

--> In Lola's room:

" Once, the walls were papered with some sort of ornate flower pattern, but the walls are dark with damp and mold." -> No error per se, but the repetition of "the walls" grates a bit. Why not "...but now they are dark..." ?

-->Clicking on the cigarette case in my inventory:

"Monogramed 'Beau Russel' " -> monogrammed

--> On the staff floor landing:

"Old doors hang open, giving on to the little narrow rooms..." -> I think this should be one word: onto

--> Immediately after taking the diamonds:

You rush back up the stairs, through the library, and back to the foyer, waiting for the shoe to drop, but it seems Morben was as good as his word. The front door stands slightly open, and nothing stops you running outside.

It is pitch black. Cold, heavy rain pours from the night sky. It must be well past midnight.

Error: cannot execute macro <<p>>: unable to parse macro argument ""Who cares? You": unterminated double quoted string

 aren't going to have to worry about getting up for work ever again!

--> Waking up in the hospital:

"The Doctor's have no real explanation for why you are there," -> Doctors

--> I got ending 5: "Greed beats Charity". But underneath the afterword it says:

Endings Collected

• 4: Lost to the device

--> When I'm in the Control Booth, the name of the save-file is still "Basement Corridor". That's confusing for when I should want to return to this  choice.

--> I'm very impressed with how you balance this whole game. The panic creeping up with enough triggers to bring it back down a notch. The new weapon appearing just as I lost my second-to-last one, the bottlenecks opening up after the right amount of exploration... Well crafted!

--> I destroyed the Machine! And then I got this message in the Afterword:

Endings Collected

• 4: Lost to the device 

• 6: Error: <<=>>: bad evaluation: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'name')

Both of these are wrong:

- I never got ending 4 "Lost to the Device", I got 5 "Greed beats Charity"

-Aside from the error message, my final ending was not 6, but this one:

This is ending 7 of 7

“An end to this horror”

--> I just went back to an earlier save to verify the name of my ending for my previous comment. Clicking through to Credits and the Afterword now gives me this:

Endings Collected

• 4: Lost to the device
• 6: Error: <<=>>: bad evaluation: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'name')
• 6: Error: <<=>>: bad evaluation: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'name')

--> Of course I had to go in one last time to confirm my suspicions... And indeed, the endings just keep stacking:

Endings Collected

• 4: Lost to the device
• 6: Error: <<=>>: bad evaluation: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'name')
• 6: Error: <<=>>: bad evaluation: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'name')
• 6: Error: <<=>>: bad evaluation: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'name')

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lots of progress. Heading further upstairs now! If I don't come back, come find my ghost. You'll be able to appease it with John Coltrane.

One ending done. I'll go back to do the more heroic thing: leave the diamonds, stay in the house, and try to save the rest of the patients.

Finished.

Thanks for a great game!
