Endlessly being eaten (spoilers/bug)
Towards the end when running to phi, I keep getting stuck in really annoying endless loops of me being eaten by the big dumb fish. You can reload a save, but its happened like 5 times in a row.

hide from it on the sides on the road

I basically turned around to keep an eye on it from time to time, then running towards it at an angle when it tried to close in on me. I managed to dodge it most of the time doing that. The enemy guide suggests hiding behind a rock or in a tunnel.

I got passed it, I wasnt wondering about strats to get by as much as I was pointing out if I did ♥♥♥♥ up and got bit half the time the animation for getting eaten would NEVER end. I let it sit for like 10 minutes the first time just endlessly getting thrown around and moaning. It was more of a bug report than me complaining about being bad.

Ah, it lasted about 5-15 seconds each time for me. It wouldn't immediately head for me after letting me down again either. I believe I kept moving the mouse while it was shaking me around like a sack of potatoes, though.

sorry for the thread necromancy, but maybe not sorry, because this bug is not fixed as of today 2018-03-04.

After exiting alpha through the tunnel, with the worm on my heels, i run along the path following the lights. Then the worm or another creature snatches me up and I lose control. In the following sequence the character is whirled around in what seems to be a death or hit sequence. But this sequence never ends. I can wait for minutes and I assume I could wait for hours and days. The character is whirled around endlessly. Neither dieing, nor getting released by the monster fishworm, nor blacking out and awakening. The game has to be exited to get out of this loop.

Your reply has exactly zero to do with what I reported.

... Or are you maybe pissed off, that you do not get snatched by the wormfish and get stuck in an buggy, endless hit sequence? And want to get some anger relief here?

God, you seem to be the one with anger problems here. Anyway, about your bug, it may be a bug that can't be fixed, because some bugs are too pixel perfect to be replicated and fixed. So, you might need to redo alot.

You might be right.

@Zatanna: Sorry for being snappy.

About the issue: Yeah, no biggie. The one and only bug I have encountered. Therefor took me by surprise and I had to google it immediately. Have a good one everyone.

This is happening to me right now.

I've made it through that section twice, both times being caught by the monster once.
Basically, my solution has been to run from rock to rock, when I reach the rock, I crouch and pause. Once the fish has passed, I run to the next rock. Occasionally, as said earlier, kind of charge the fish - it can't really turn fast, so you get out of its path while closing the distance so it can't turn to get you fast enough.

Yes, I had the same thing a couple of times. At first I thought it was meant to be that way and tried to press the keyboard keys and mouse buttons so that it would let me go. Since this "eating" was accompanied by
frames of an underwater location, alternating with a black screen, I thought that I needed to somehow synchronize my keyboard presses with these images =)
...so then I just saved and restarted the game.
