So it seems that the bugs that plague this game still need to be ironed out, or at least squashed for good.
When I bought this game a week ago at the 10% discount of $30.59, I was thrilled at the fact that I would have the opportunity of being able to play a third addition to my long time favorite Puzzle/Action/FMV horror game in the long standing series of The 7th Guest and the 11th Hour (of which I have both physical discs of as well as the updated digital versions).
However, much to my dismay, I have not been able to progress any further past the point of having completed the Puzzle in the Crypts. As soon as I move towards the exit passed the staircase that you can't go up on, what looks like a sealed door at the far left corner of the room opens up, and spikes come forward at you.
You are then magically transported back to the main interior entrance of the Mansion facing the staircase that leads up to the upper floor.
This is the point of where my screen just freezes, I'm unable to move around, and my cursor just vanishes.
I literally have to force close the game by pressing both ALT + F4 to get back to Windows Desktop.
I thought about the possibility of it maybe being an outdated GPU driver issue, but then none of the other games that I play have such an issue. Just with the 13th Doll.
Also, I'm on Windows 7, and this game does support the OS. I already am aware that the 1.0.2 patch version was supposed to fix and address those issues, especially when the game was first released with version 1.0.1 and it would just crash to the Windows Desktop after the short Intro Video had finished playing.
So I had decided to email the Devs from Attic Door Productions, sent them my log files, which by the way I checked myself, and no noticeable errors come up, and no crash dumps were created because my game didn't crash with the current 1.0.6 patch, it just froze at a certain area within the game.
Hopefully the Devs will update with a 1.0.7 Patch version that prevents unexpected bugs and actually does something to have better support with Windows 7. I would at least like to be able to play this game in it's entirety from start to finish with both player perspectives from Tad's story and the Doctor's without worrying that I spent more money than I had to on a game made with Unity that's broken and severely bugged.
Also, if anyone has any similar issues, or any issues what-so-ever related to freezing, crashing, or completing any of the games puzzles, direct them straight to the Developers at: the13thdoll@gmail.com
We are after all the Gamers and Consumers that paid for this game, so the least we can get in return is a fully functional game that we can play from start to finish.
