I got stuck at the end of chapter 4, due to the "logic trap" in that chapter ( the game let you perform an action before one of the conditions to fulfill that action is met. if you do, you cannot come back later to it and the chapter doesn't end properly ... Result " There is always a plant the house stuck at 128/141 , chapter at 97%) . Unfortunately, my saved game in chap IV is after the error. And I don't want to restert from the end of chap 2 ( my previous save )

If anyone has a saved game from chapter 4 or at the start of chapter 5... I'd be grateful

Thanks, most helpful

This kind of trap is an annoyance. Spotted two already.
i also had the exact same bug and couldnt complete chapter four. the link to the saved games saved me. spent three hours clicking on every hotspot and inv item in game in order to 'bump' whatever trigger was needed to advance.

frankly, it has ruined the game for me as prior to that were repeated instances of the game not progressing unless my char clicked on some hotspot in some perfect order that the coder wanted, no matter if i had already clicked that same hot spot numerous times before. led to numerous backtracking and reclicking every bloody thing in game to get it to advance. one time it was just a few word text change on an old link and voila.. the game advanced. silly really, going to play the rest of the game with a guide on hand to cut down on all the stupid to-ing and fro-ing to see if some random link is now reactivated or changed. up to now it was a decent atmospheric game with lovely graphics and soundtrack

Aside from chapter 4, the only part that was a bit puzzling were chapter 6, were I had the feeling there is another of these tricky things-to-do-in-the-right order, and chapter 8, which is the only chapter with some real difficulty. So, without guide, and having lost two hours in chap 4, I completed the game in 8 hours or so.

But you're right, such "details" do mitigate the positive experience. Still, the soundtrack is a true gem !
with guide in hand for gentle pointers the rest of the game was stellar, especially the last maze puzzle rooms. The matte paintings were quite lovely and yes..... the music was very very good. My husband stopped what he was doing to ask me what I was cd i was playing ... .heh

overall, I would give it a very good review, but they need to fix those really bad glitches
Same as me, so thanks a lot to @-Bakhtosh- for saves and @Ingsoc85 to point to right thread.
