A Twin Peaks inspired mystery game is a great idea... Have you player Kentucky Route Zero BTW?
Thank you so much for taking the time to write. Comments and connection to players are really the biggest motivation in creating my games, but unfortunately it happens less than you might think.
Hmmm... the addition of the description "with the people outside" has be actually unsure of which you found.... it sounds like you collected all the required items to collect the <<spoiler item>> and release the actual bug which runs across the screen to the left and creates a new exit. But this should go directly to the debug room. And this exit is from inside a room with the most people in it... I'll check that is working correctly now, but let me know if I may be misunderstanding of your description as well.
Thanks for helping me figure it out, knew there had to be another use for the button! Incidentally, playing through it again, can't get over how damn funny the sprites are. Love the swaying animation of the little dude.
Sorry my last post was confusingly-worded. Basically, my first time through the game I found an actual game-breaking bug that gets you stuck in the sky if you exit via the top left of the "people outside" screen. So my insane logic, after I found the actual bug (the item), was that I had to take it to the game-breaking bug (which totally seemed like it could be intentional in this kind of game). So I guess this is a bug report (with the qualifier that it didn't interfere with the fun, since I was replaying it anyway).
You're not the first person to ask if I've played Kentucky Route Zero so I think I really need to get on that! I actually bought it on my Switch a while back and am definitely gonna finally play it soon.
