Hey, the game softlocked after I completed the painting puzzle. I pressed escape and the game exited out. I still heard the heavy breathing, but when I resumed the game, the portraits (and every other item) are gone, thus making the game unbeatable. This happened even when I selected a new game; for some reason, the game didn't reset completely, meaning that obtaining the first key and entering the house again is impossible.
Edit: NVM, got the game to work!
