I don't have a complete walkthrough, but reply with where you are in the game and what items you've found and I'll give you some hints :)

OK thank you.

I have 3 Keys and the Ice Magic but no Idea wehre ist Key Number 4.

Itch still somehow doesn't have spoiler markup for comments, so I made a gist with graded hints

I'm assuming this is the key you're missing, but let me know if it is a different one.

OK thank you.

I would never have thought of that in my life 😅

You're not the only player I've had to give hints to for this key - I think I underestimated the logic of this puzzle! Might need to patch in a hint or rethink it entirely 😯

So when I went to the location of the afore mentioned 4th key, it was not in the door, and it was locked? I have three keys and now I am completely lost as to find the 4th  

This does sound like your save is possibly corrupted :|

If you can, hook your Playdate up as a USB drive, and copy the saved data for Etad to a computer (the whole folder including all the "mapstate-x.json" files), zip it up and send it to me (gareth@garethw.net), and I'll get you fixed up.

Had the same issue, though I fixed it by assuming the first mapstate file just needed the hasKey thing set to True.

I think found a way to make the game unplayable.

I made the bridge to the portal to the village away in the pyramid and ran the other way to the village and then with the key through the portal into the pyramids where there is no bridge anymore.

Now I just fall to my death.

Wasn't the best idea 😅

Oh no! That certainly is something I hadn't thought of.

I'll need some time to patch this, but I can fix it for you right away if you are able to send the `playerstate.json` file from the save folder (via data disk mode) to gareth@garethw.net

OR, if you're comfortable editing json, simply change "position" (near the bottom of the file, with only one indent) from "x":21 to "x":18 in the playerstate.json file

has already been done.

After the death I kept pressing the screen down so that I ran backwards when respawning before the fall.

Tonight I'll open the tie with the fourth key. 💪

ok new problem

Now I'm standing in front of the door with the fourth key, but keys 1-3 are missing.

They're gone.

Huh. That's concerning.

Did you put the first three keys in the door before looking for the 4th?

If so, sounds like your save got corrupted somehow.

You can fix it yourself by editing mapstate-9.json, search for "hasKeys" and change it to 4.

Or send mapstate-9.json and playerstate.json to gareth@garethw.net

Exactly I put the first three in the door and when I came back with key 4 they were gone. I'll take a look at the pc when I'm at home
