Bug Report: Chapter 3
Note: this is NOT official. I am not a member of Glowstick Entertainment, nor am I a playtester or anything else affiliated with them. I am just a fan who has decided to create this bug report thread for Glowstick to see since nobody else has done so yet.

Keep in mind I still think the chapter is amazing to play, don't get me wrong, but it still has a ton of bugs nonetheless. I don't know about anyone else, but I'd be happy if they pushed it back to even mid-July to fix these bugs.

Anyway, here's a list of bugs within Chapter 3 found by me and others put together in the hope that Glowstick Entertainment will see this and fix them (I'll divide them into lists to make it simpler).

Stranger Sewers
-when a dread ducky stops chasing you, sometimes it will remain standing in place and keep the music going
-walking on the stone side bits of sewer tunnels can get you trapped behind them in a small gap
-doom ducky's grab attack can instantly pull you right into him, causing you to get stuck with him behind the invisible barrier. Can also be caused by a regular dread ducky stunning you right before doom ducky uses his grab attack.
-dread duckies spawned by doom ducky do not despawn on death and restart of the battle
-doom ducky completely stops moving if he stops being stunned before you have finished turning a valve
-a living dread ducky can spawn right beside or directly on top of you. The latter will cause instant death.
-if you are grabbed my doom ducky and a dread ducky kills you, you respawn grabbed by doom ducky. While being grabbed, another dread ducky will grab you and doom will kill you. This will repeat until you get a game over.
-delay with when you approach an idle dread ducky and it giving chase
-an occurrence where every door in the sewer is locked and cannot be opened

Crazy Carnevil
-Some clown death animations have the view clip inside a clown's head
-you can easily get trapped in the first ring altar area after zone 1 (causes unknown, but it didn't trap me when i killed the clown gremlins with primal fear).
-zone 2 just doesn't load in and instead skips to the boss battle
-(seen on youtuber: iulitm's video where he was able to play zone 2) mirror maze lacks any mirrors. If intentional, perhaps add shattered glass around the floor showing that the mirrors have been broken.
-easy to see animation loop frames on clown gremlin and goliath clown 'wave' idle animation
-in the boss battle, the goliath clowns' heads can clip through the collar of their outfit when looking down at the player.
-if able to play zone 2, dying in the zone will, when you have respawned, immediately kill you again wihout sound, a jumpscare or any of the sort. It is described as "as soon as the screen of losing a life fades, it cuts back to losing another life"

Miscellaneous (optimisation/out of chapter)
-pausing and unpausing the game while it temporarily freezes makes the pause menu stick to the screen while playing
-crazy carnevil freezes and crashes a lot for some people who are without the best specs
- the preview of the nurse's level has the same audio as of the ducky's preview
-when in the ballroom after chapter 3 has been beaten, the tablet is unable to be pulled up and power-ups cannot be changed

Leave a comment if you've found a new bug that isn't on here and I'll add it to the list. God, I hope Glowstick Entertainment actually sees this.

Duckies:
-Sometimes if u get stunned by one of the small ducks during the boss before it uses the mouth attack, itll grab and drag you to it but not kill you. I posted a screenshot of it.
-The music can loop when the duckies stay standing in the bug above.


Clowns:
-If it freezes and you press pause when it unfreezes it will allow you to play but stuck with the pause screen
-Maybe its just me but it freezes /crashes for me a ton

I encountered a bug where I didn't finish turning the valve before doom ducky got un-stunned, and he completely stopped moving as a result. I had to sacrifice myself to a dread ducky to continue, preventing me from getting the achievement for beating him without dying.

As a side note, I also encountered the standing dread duckies, the ring altar glitch in Crazy Carnevil, and the zone 2 skip.

I believe these issues are based on your pc specs and not a gameplay bug. I'll add another section to the list for bugs like these that are brought with Chapter 3

So I got to the end of Chapter 3, and looked at the preview, and the music was the same music as the Chapter 3 preview, with ducks quacking and stuff, which isn't supposed to be the case, right?

In zone 2 of Crazy Carnevil each time I died I would respawn and immediately die again. There wouldn't be an animation or sound or anything, just as soon as the screen of me losing a life fades, it cuts back to me losing another life.

Additional, the bgm often stops playing suddenly in level 5, and I died again right after I died in zone 2. Also, Duckies' AI, speed, and trigger range needs to be improved.

For me after you have beaten Crazy Carnevil, once your back in the Ballroom, you can't pull up you tablet or change the abilities. You can only use the speedboost with "Q" and "E".

When I died on the Doom Ducky, I respawned already grabbed by him and another dread ducky at the same time, causing me to die. Then when I respawned, I was already grabbed by a dread ducky and got grabbed by the Doom Ducky during the first grab which also lead to me dying. This happened until I lost all my lives and had to restart the checkpoint.

I remember when I started playing the Sewer level, the doors were stuck and wouldn't open. I had to restart the level a few times until it worked. Plus, some of the hostile Dread Duckies wouldn't activate when I got near them. I'm not done with the sewer still, just because of the bugs I'm running into.
1) How to which one tou did restart level / checkpoint / chapter or entire game
2) what difficult you choose to by pass this bug
i turn on all valve but still door won't open ? Please help♥♥☺
