Help please

[Fission Mailed]

Hi all, need some help with certain part of the game.
Currently I'm at the Clark Fields home and I just got insect and a leaf from a statue puzzle and now I don't know what to do. I read somewhere that after I leave a room with the statue puzzle, there should be a cut scene and a new nightmare, but I didn't get any of that.
Anyone knows the solution, did I miss smth or? Thank you!

If you leave the room and head to the other side of the dining table you should trigger a cut scene.

Thx for the answer, but i already try that. I've been through every room in the house and there was no cut scene. Don't know if I missed something before, or it's some kind of a bug.

If you picked up the insect and all, then it sounds like a bug to me :(

There is no cut scene at this point. Next "cut scene" is Howards 5th nightmare. This starts when he has market coordinates on the right map out of the steel closet in the catacombs under Ivar Bergens hut and tries to leave the cellar.

Sorry, I should've said it triggers him to faint. Cut-scene was the wrong word for it, but you're not able to control Howard at that point.

I have bought the bundle in the last sale and played Darkness Within 1 (german version) from start to finish. I was afraid that I would also have this 'bug' because I was exactly at this point mentioned in OP. There was no cut and also no faint when I got the stuff out of the statue and returned back around the dinning table. I also consulted a complete (german) walkthrough after I had finished the game, that list all secrets, hints, 'easter-eggs', dream-sequences etc. in the game. There is also no mention of something 'special' when returning from the statue around the dinning table.
But what ever. I can say that at least the German version can be played from start to finish.
I only also had the bug, when the screen is not centered corecctly during the dream with the skelleton in the coffin.

I don't think there is a dead-end because some program trigger bugged at this particular point in the game. I think OP has just not found / done something what he could do next.

I had the same problem. When I left the room with the statue (statue puzzle solved, insect and leaf taken) the nightmare sequence didn't trigger. But in fact it isn't walking through the door that triggers the cutscene (as I thought because this is how it looks on every walkthrough on youtube). It triggers when you're taking the last required item (in this stage of the game) regardless the place.
I chcecked in walkthrough what I could miss. It turned out I didn't take the marked map from the map machine after I solved riddle and made markings. It seems that you didn't do it either. After I took the map and examine it (clicking on Wolfsprey, Wholestone and Redtown) the nightmare triggered in Ivar's Cabin cellar .
Hope it works for you.

this game is non linear. cut scene can also trigger some another location such as İvar Bergen's cellar. you may forget something you supposed to complete before. you should go all locations again and check in.
