Sorry about the bug, and thanks for reporting it! Did you get the new rug the previous day? It does seem possible that the confluence of events (failing the ghost task and getting the rug) caused it.
I'll hunt down the bug and fix it but it will probably take me awhile before I can upload the new version of the game. In the meantime, here are a couple suggestions:
- If you can load a previous saved game, try waiting for an additional day or two before talking to the tailor and getting the rug. That way, the ghost event can happen as usual and you'll get the rug on a different day.
- Alternatively, you can also send me your saved files and I can fix this for your game. The savefiles are located in "C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\User Data\Default\TheLostArtOfInnkeeping" (replace "Username" with your own username on the computer). Navigate to this folder and you'll see a bunch of files called
"config", "global", "file1", "file2"., etc. You can either zip all the files up, or attach them individually (I only need the ones beginning with "file").
- Please email the files to seaphoenixgames [at] gmail [dot] com, or I believe you can also send files through Facebook's messaging system (you can send them to SeaPhoenix - I have the same orange phoenix avatar there as the one here on Itch.io) Hope this helps, and once again, sorry you encountered the bug!
