They're just a gift atm, but in un update I will implement them as a mean to get another ending (that I had to cut due to the time restraint of the Jam) ;w;
As for the fire, you can't put it down but there's another exit in the mirror room, try to escape through that one!
And thank you again for playing x3 many told me they killed Gareth on the first run, I guess he deserved it lol
About the first one, I never encountered this error, I gotta check it ;__; did you enter and exit the room when the timer stopped?
For the second problem I can trace you the paths on the map... I know it isn't gameplay friendly but I think I would help you quicker while working on the new build; Zakhari is always two or three steps behind you, so there is a way to escape. I'm sorry I can't do more atm ;__;
(But I'll make the rooms larger in the next update so the chase won't be so frustrating, all feedback is helpful)
