any way to return to main menu?

[jjesu]

I played through the first mode without accepting the fruit when offered, then before starting the new game plus, I decided to see what would have happened if I had taken the fruit. Now i'm void, and I can't game over to start a new game. is there no way to return to the main menu as is?

I haven't tested it myself, but from the comments on here it sounds like the latest patch may have added something for this situation. Could give it a shot and see what happens, if you're definitely wanting to reset.
I guess just self destruct over and over in one of the rooms, and see what happens?

there's a legitimate way of completely resetting your run as well, you get taught it at the end of your voided playthrough
i think it's worth it to actually play through those levels again but if you don't want to do it i can tell you how it works

the above worked! thank you! though I don't think I have the will to play through the entire game again, even with unlimited lives, lol. unless there's something i'm missing by not?

The ending sequence for the voided Grey run should be experienced for sure. Can't say more. Use all your tricks to blow through it later if nothing else

What is it? Nevermind. Repeatedly dying in the same room does not work. I can't exit void mode. I've died over 50 times now. Probably 70.

Specific details: Die 7 times fast while voided and you get placed all alone in a black backdrop. You can only press the use key to revive. Afterwards nothing changes and you can't reach this screen again until you close and re-open the game.

I'm going to nuke my save file. It's the same anyway since I have my notes.

What is it? The only way out that I can see is to wipe my save file. Repeatedly dying in the same room does not work. I can't exit void mode. I've died over 50 times now. And that number is going to be 100 very soon.

some rooms have these statues with four eyes/gems, if you place the exit stairs directly below said statue, when you take the stairs you'll be transported back to the start with your void status gone. unfortunately not every room has one of those so you may have to go further down before you can reset.
i don't know why repeatedly dying while void doesn't work for you, sorry, i've never had to do that in my playthrough :(

Just edited my original post. Thanks for the speedy reply! I've got the 4 eyed statues in the level I'm in... but I'm also trying to bail from this level since I can't solve it! I'll manage somehow. Thank you for the tip. I'll definitely try that.

Edit: Whoops! It's the statue with the bull horns. Guess I'm toast. Thanks anyway. I feel better about it at least.
