We are trying to locate and fix these 404 erros as we play and revise the .txts, and we hope to get rid of them all soon. Weâll fix this one ASAP
BTW, Iâd recommend you to save your progress as often as you can to avoid losing your story

Sorry about that. Can you describe more precisely where the error occurred? Perhaps a word from the last scene you were in before the bug or a more detailed description of what you did in the last part. It is after facing Ewan, right?
From what I can gather, there seems to be a problem with proper capitalization of words in the code regarding the dashingdonâs host(I think it makes sense in HTML logic): While locally I experience no such problem while testing and the game passes both the quicktest and the randomtest, if the code is written in a different manner than the exact capitalization used in the name of the .txt, the host cannot find it.
I have to manually find these spots and fix them. It gets kinda tricky because it seems to happen in an arbitrary way: there are reports of people who manage to get to Chapter 2 without a problem and I have no idea why.
Iâm looking at the first hotel hub from Chapter 2 and all the scenes seem to be correctly named.

One place is where you walk around and an old lady is looking at your room and all of the options seem to give errors at some point

Was it during Chapter One? Before or after reaching Invernock?
And this might sound stupid, but have any of you tried to refresh the browser? Who knows, perhaps that could work 
I tried to refresh but iâll check again

I checked and it didnât help, I even tried to pick all the options with the old lady and sometimes you can get further, but only by one scene

Ok, I think the first theory was correct. The problems you both are describing are located in *goto_scenes that mention .txts with wrong capitalization.
Iâm going to manually fix them right now and then I will go over every file and fix it. Sorry that you people had to experience that, but I believe it will be fixed right away. I will edit this post when I do it.
EDIT: It should be working now. I checked all the files and uploaded them to dashingdonâs host. If the problem persists, I think youâll have to start a new game from an anonymous browser or clear your cache before playing the game again(this could ruin your save, though)

Ok I got to the part of the deduction where you have to put in the names of Ewanâs two victims and I canât remember the other one, or I mispronounced the name?. Can you help with this one, or put some hint in the game cause Iâm not able to go on if I donât write the correct name⌠

One is Cassandra Doran(or just Cassandra) and the other one is Elizabeth Allanach (she is supposedly mentioned on one of the files Alexander gives you and in Ewanâs notebook)
Either way, you should be able to skip that part if you donât know the name (itâs not supposed to be obligatory to get everything right), so I might have forgotten to make it âskippableâ. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks Btw when i finished deduction part, i found an error when you chose one of these options:
After I clicked it and got the score from deduction, it immediately returned to this part:
And when i choose âPerform your final deductionsâ option again, it goes in circles, like some infinite loop.

You shouldnât be able to perform the final deductions more than once⌠weâll fix that. However, I think you can go for the other options until enough time passes for the âGo to the ritualâ choice become available. This choice is invisible now, but weâll make it unselectable instead - so the player can assume that this will eventually continue the story.
Alternatively, try to make your character sleep once or twice. That also should do the trick

As Nerull said, you shouldnât be able to perform the final deductions more than once, so thatâs a bug in itself.
While checking this I noticed that none of the options on this âhubâ were getting you tired, so I fixed that.
The way this should work is like this: You have 2~3 days until the ritual and you can do up to 3 actions per day, then you can rest. So you need to rest at least 2 times until the final option appears.
Either way, Iâm uploading the changes right now, I hope it fixes the problem. Thank you for the reports!

Wow, this developed quickly. Nicely done.

I have recently received a report outside of the forum about a bug that was letting you âjumpâ between chapters at some specific situations(specially when calling someone). There was a typo that was making you go either to chapter 2 or to the interlude without previously reaching Ewan, out of nowhere.
It got fixed now and I have uploaded it on the host. I advise anyone who had played before to restart the game and check if it displays â(version 1.1)â or above on the title screen just to be sure you are playing the right one.
(if it doesnât appear, try deleting your browse history or opening in a incognito tab)

Indeed we have been working on the project continuously since the idea first came up. We had to abandon a lot of our ideas simply because the game was too big already and this was supposed to be a âshort first gameâ that would make us comfortable enough with the language. It kept growing and growing, and while there certainly is room for improvement and we wonât stop updating the game, we still want to start other projects as well.
moderators Is there any way that I can edit the contents of the first post on the topic? (Sorry to contact you this way but I wasnât able to find out where the option to flag the post was)

Should be editable now. And yeah this is one of those situations where tagging us, instead of flagging something, is appropriate. Itâs not a case of donât tag us, itâs a case of donât tag when it should be a flag.
