Hello, this is my first time playing the game.

I think I have encountered a game breaking bug. I have almost gotten to the end. Everyone is dead except Lillian and Rudy ( I think ) and I cannot find anyone, alive or dead. I've searched every location I can get to for maybe an hour.

I found the trap door in the garden with the fountain, but cannot go down (I know you need the carrot to get the lantern.)

I also cannot get into the attic. The elevator isnt present anymore, and the upstairs door is locked.

Has anyone encountered anything simular, if so, I would like to hear if you found a solution or just had to restart.

Thank you

I could take a look at your save game and see what might be missing...
