I'm currently stuck, either because of monkey brain or a bug. Potentially both. Spoilers!! (obviously)

Idk what route im doing, apparently those are things in this game, but I have gone outside on both days 1 and 2.

Anyways, after having collected all the necessary keys, I entered the black space, and went through a bunch of different doors to different rooms, until a door with a red silhouette appeared near the picnic basket in the black space. My assumption was that going through that door would progress the game, leaving all of the other doors unexplored. So naturally, I completely ignored the red door and chose another door at random. I ended up in a room with basil strung up on some spider webs, and after walking around a bit with him, he disappears/is made a tasty snack for the spiders. I'm assuming the room had another door key somewhere in it, but I ended up opening the party menu and stabbing myself, sending me back to the black space, without a key.

After having spent about an hour in the black space just wandering around and stabbing myself, switching equipped charms, trying all of the doors, talking to all the strangers, etc. I am fairly certain that I have softlocked myself due to an oversight or bug. Basically, I was wondering if had just seriously overlooked a solution to what might be a puzzle, or this was in fact just a unfortunate bug.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, unfortunately that is a softlock that happens when you stab yourself before grabbing the key for the next door. This hasn't been patched out yet and on the Bug Report discussion thread, you can see this has happened to many people too. Do you have a save before you went into that door? If you do just load it up to continue.

If you don't have a save file before that you could either start the game over or download a save file. I made a guide that has save files and how to use them here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2427987937

I hope this helps!

I'm just glad I wasn't missing something really important. Hopefully it gets patched soon.
Thank you for linking a guide to downloading save files, I'll probably end up using it because, like a bum, I only saved on one file.

Once again, thank you so very much!

No problem! Yeah, apparently the devs are working on the final patch for the game now so hopefully they fix it in that release. I hope you enjoy the rest of the game!
