this was an issue for someone else a few days ago. i couldn’t reproduce the problem but redid the beehive anyway and uploaded an update on the 3rd. are you playing the most recent version (250503) as a download or on borogove? if so, is there any way you could send me a transcript? you can use the email address on my itch page.
i can’t reproduce what you’re seeing but sorry for the irritation. i can’t seem to find where the fault lies and hate to blame borogove but lets blame them anyway :)
just in case, i did make a change to how the beehive is displayed and uploaded it to itch and borogove as well.
glad to hear you're enjoying it, you've done quite well getting 11/12 meals!
i've uploaded a 'cheat sheet' with all the locations of each meal. i'd be curious to know which one you're missing.
i don't know how to add a spoiler alert on itch (would be curious to know how to do that as well) but i will say that you can get to the bear cub after you've eaten all 12 meals. there are no red herrings in the game. so, if there's an area you haven't seemed to be able to access or an item you haven't yet done something with, you will need to eventually.
warning - mild spoiler here. but just a suggestion. "examine self" should give the same response as "examine me". the current response is "You notice nothing special" which is incorrect and misleading. this blocked me right out of the gate (there was no reason to try "x me" after getting the non-response to "x self") and i had to revert to the walk-through immediately.
just in case anyone else is having the same problem. i wasn't able to upload the game to borogove publicly (got an error message), but it did work privately. from glancing through intfiction.org this has been an issue before.
