Wings Rest Bug - Can't talk to NPCs

[Biggimus Wiggimus]

Warped back to Wings Rest for the first time after Demi teleports you there and I cannot speak to any NPCs besides the alchemist. This seems to be blocking off my progression as i cannot purchase the key to open the eye door thing in to enter the Temple of Silence. Can confirm todays update has not fixed this issue.

Same bug here.. But I can talk to the Alchemist merchant tho

[Bloodyfish]

So any news on this? Has the dev acknowledged the bug?

[PasternakK]

Still no update but it might be related to the christmas update (since this bug appeared recently).

Here is my experience (it worked in the end) : Start a new game slot 1, take my time warp to the hub after talking to the girl (without pulling the lever), can't talk to any npc beside the alchemist... Restart a new game slot 2, speedrun to the lady (pull the lever), warp, can talk to all npcs in the hub, take the key from the merchant, warp back to the hub , can't talk to them anymore, speedrun to the sewers, warp to the hub, it finaly worked consistently...

Far from an ideal experience and the game might break again.
The game seems realy cool, it's a shame, this is realy gamebreaking.

N.B: To be exostive, I used a custom avatar image, I don't think it's relevant but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I had this problem too and I noticed that my quick item bar in the HUD had been replaced with a portrait of some anime girl. I didn't even realize it was the quick bar at first because of that lol. But when I unequipped my items (you don't need to touch weapons or rings), and then re-equipped them, the bar went back to normal. When I then warped to Wing's Rest, everything seemed to be functioning as intended. I forgot to save and then died and when I restarted everything was still broken but I was able to fix it again with the same trick. Seems really bad for a game to have a gamebreaking bug going into the winter sale lol, but at least it's easy to work around.

You're right. After I unequipped all items before warping to Wing's Rest, I was finally able to talk to the NPCs. There was also a new item to pickup and the warp crystal was active when I got there, unlike before. What a bizarre bug.

I had the same icon bug, but I still can't talk to npcs after the fix.

Tried it again and it just worked, actually. Odd.

same problem, can only talk to the alchemist and not to the crow npc that sells the key, even talking to the demon girl before hitting the lever didn't work

Dec 23rd and I am getting the same bug, can't talk to NPCs in town to get the key. Gonna have to refund game. A shame since I loved the King's Field on PS1. I'll check in later to see if it's fixed.

I'm playing the game for the first time and also ran into this issue. I didn't pull any lever yet but the only NPC I can talk to in Wing's Rest is the one behind the bar (the alchemist?). What a shame. I guess I'll let this game sit until the christmas event gets patched out.

[SavageMessiah]

I got the bug again after fixing it and I think you don't even need to unequip your items to fix it, just switch items. Weird bug. Haven't seen it since.

I also have the anime lady under my health bar but I don't know enough about the game to know that was an issue, lol. I'll try your fix later.

The bug with the npcs definitely has something to do with the item icons being bugged, all I had to do to fix the former issue was to swap my items once. When I swapped them the item icon bug was fixed and the next time I warped to Wings Rest everything was fine. Repeated it on a different save and same result, so if nothing else is working out for you or anyone else reading this just try switching the items (1/3 on keyboard) then warping into Wings Rest.

Update: restarted the game, same ♥♥♥♥ happened. Kinda bummed the dev hasn't addressed this at all since its such a common, game breaking bug.

[Tyrannforce]

I refunded the Game because of this bug. I will buy it again if this is fixed. The Game is realy promising and i hope that the gamebraking bugs getting fixed soon.

I had the same issue. It does seem connected to the equipped items, specifically to the quick items, not weapons or spells. If you have any quick items equipped, some sort of bugged item with the anime icon is automatically placed as the default one. But it's not necessary to unequip everything, for me it was enough to push 1 or 3 to cycle to my normal items, and the bugged one would be gone then. After revisitng Wings Rest the NPCs would now interact normally.
