## BUG REPORT ##
Endless Loop
* I first chose to wander around, then the game send to me to Matt, then to Diego, then back to Matt, then again to Diego, then back to Matt, ... *
=> I tried different dialog options and finally after a few rounds of going around I managed to get out of the loop by chance, by choosing totally different dialog options when talking with Matt
P.S. I'm using the Itch.io App, in case it makes a difference.
Hey Ni_Fi,
That error you’re describing is definitely strange, because when you choose “wander around”, you’re not supposed to be sent to Matt automatically — it should take you to the choice menu where you decide where to go next.
I’ve never used the itch.io app myself, so it could indeed be related to that.
I tried opening the game straight from the file without using Itch.io App, and unfortunately the problem persists.
Here are my dialog choices (shortened to avoid spoilers) in order:
Here, I tried some other dialog options...

Ahhh! And it’s in the stadium section! For some reason I thought it was at the start of the game. Most of what you described is actually supposed to happen — except for you going to talk to Matt and getting the same conversations on a loop xDDDD.
Okay, I think I found what was going on and I released a silent update (you can download the game again). I tested it and it’s working properly now, but you’ll need to replay Matt’s part.
That initial stadium section (version 0.5) is what I call the exploration part, meaning there are a lot of variables that change scenes in different ways depending on the choices you make. When you explore and then get sent automatically to Matt, you kind of end up skipping some keys (basically the game doesn’t remember you already went to Matt). That was a coding mistake on my end. It should be fixed now (I just hope I didn’t accidentally break anything else).
And thank you so, so much.
No problem, always happy to help! Sorry about the confusion...I should have been more precise when describing the bug, and I definitely should have mentioned where I found it.
Just tested the new version and now it works like a charm...at least the route I chose.
** I tried a different way of doing things : I chose to go straight to Matt, after which I was sent to Diego, after which the patch came to an end and totally missed the "wandering" part... Just to make sure, is that how it's suppose to work? Same thing happens if I chose to go to Diego first.**
Thanks for the great game. Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see where you'll go with it. Loved the training session "mini-game"...though the total randomness of it did cause some grey hair...me being a perfectionist and all LOL
No need to apologize, you’ve already been a huge help heheh.
In that stadium section, you can actually talk to both Diego and Harry one on one. There is a way to do that.
And yes, there are some timed events in the game. Things that “disappear” if you go do something else in the meantime. The wander around option is only available there as soon as you arrive at the stadium at that point Lucas is still within reach to be saved and if you do anything else then... well... he dies... Not really but you get what I mean xD
Ahh the mini game! It’s actually not total randomness. They do adapt to what you do. For example, if you keep spamming one stance, they are supposed to adapt to it and counter it. That system is more refined for the actual fight, with actives and passives, but it’s not available yet.
