Bug found ;)

First of all thanks for this amazing game. Can't stop laughing about the Sam&Max scene ^^

But I encounter a small bug. After getting the pin, entering Ed's room again is not a great idea. Using Bernard you can't get the pin (of course, you already have it), using another char kills the game.

Hope this is not required to solve the training for Hoagie or getting the ethanol. Those 2 I wasn't able to solve.

Oh, you were 4 minutes faster... ;-)

I got stuck in Ed's room when I re entered it after having already taken the pin. I can't leave the room now because I can't take the pin. I also hear Ed saying stuff in the room even though he already left to fix the lights.

When I entered the room with Laverne because I needed the "glas", Ed was doing something below his desk. Then Bernard came in and the whole "Should I show you a trick" sequence started again. Annoying but ok. But when i did it again after a while (I wasn't thinking that this would happen), we AGAIN had that magic trick routine. But I could leave the room. Unfortunately I want to Ednas room where eveything was black. I could only see a few grey sparks flying where the door should be. But I couldn't do anything anymore except closing the game. I think it didn't freeze because the music was still running normal.

Same troubles of Agilen.

I download the game for MAC, and I can see the intro and options, but when I start to play I see all in black, it's normal or it's a bug on Mac.

same problem here, i tried at the lowest resolution but no way

Thank you so much for your bug reports.

All of you experiencing the gamebreak upon entering Ed's room once you've taken the pin: did you all start the "Want to see a trick?"- Scene by talking to Ed directly or did you trigger it differently?

As far as I remember I have triggered the scene by talking to Ed. Then I got the pin and used it with purples letter in the office.

But this was in v1.0.0. Don't know if the bug is still present in 1.0.1 with a new game. With the old savegame it still remains.

v1.0.1

I've started it by talking to Ed.

Also i got second Spinach can from microwave oven, but my can opener disappear.

where you go back into Ed's room it triggers the magic trick again, but i've already got the pin and it won't let me leave.

1.1 version (didn't play the 1.0 version) macOS

We are preparing an update that fixes this issue. Thank you for reporting.

Congrats for the Game!

I also have troubles reentering Ed's room. I've tried maany things, with every charecter, even reentering with the pin but Ed gets into a talking loop. I have already solve all puzzles but the alternative reminder, I only have scissors and glue in my inventory, win x64 version 1.0.1.

Please anybody give me a clue! Many thanks!!

Developer

This will be fixed with the next update. Sorry you ran into this issue.

I have the same problem.

I play this game the second time and forgot to take the glas in Ed's room first. 

I got the pin first and this was apparently a mistake.

When Bernard does the magic trick again (after he took the pin already) and is alone in the room, the glas is not on the table - even I have not taken it already.

Developer

This will be fixed, soon. Thank you for reporting.

Will we be able to use the same savegames running the new version?

Developer

The new update to 1.0.2 is out! This will fix the issue you have when entering Ed's room. You can even keep your "bad" savegames, the game will fix them for you once you enter Ed's room. 

We can really recommend the itch.io-app as the app will download and install the updates automatically for you.

Confirmed, anything worked.

Nice ending btw. Hope to see a coming-up ;)
