I do indeed have v5.10, the extra visibility was appreciated ;)

Gave A1 a crack last night, probably needs a bit of tidying at some point (but tragically I can no longer procrastinate my other tasks lol).

One thing I did notice, as a sidebar: In the early mines maze, walking within 1-2 tiles of the pulley or storeroom door makes my playdate bug out. This actually happened to me on first play through but I thought it was an effect! I'm fairly sure it's not, but lmk.

It gets extremely sluggish (music slows, movements take a while to register) and then suddenly catches up, music speeds up suddenly.  Feels like it's struggling to keep up, essentially. For me, I can replicate it to some degree each time.

 Not caused a crash at all, but might be worth checking usage around there :0)

Thanks so much you're a star!

(ETA - I realised after steppenknee's comment that I had bypassed the earlier mine event - that I believe triggers the item spawn you're referring to - entirely, so there was nothing for me to grab. Assume this is intentional but sharing jic)

Thank you so much I rly appreciate!!

You're a star, Ty for replying!

However I still can't seem to move forward :(

If you don't mind: Do you mean I should be finding something on the screen with the rope? Or to the right (guitar player)?

There is an earlier text clue for this! Before landing at the used bookstore, you need to explore another area of the island (using A to look at objects) to uncover it. 

Lmk if you want a more concrete location (or even just the straight answer) :)

Hey! Thanks so much for sharing your game, rly enjoying it :)

I am stuck relatively early stages of Act 1. 

After Used Bookstore -> dinner scene -> swimming back to shore of the beach. I can walk right to see the treeline, guitar player, and another me sat on a chair. I can go up/down the rope. There's nothing in my inventory. 

I cannot seem to move past the left hand side of this screen (the guitar player one, from upper or lower level - I can get to about the top of the hill on the left, near her legs). I also cannot move back into the water or anything from the beach. 

Can you give any pointers to what I'm missing? 

Thanks again!!!
