[Spoilers] Help ! Stuck at the betrayal sequence !

[OptimistWithNoName]

I've been playing for about 5 hours and got to the sewers of the last city and fought the immortal girl (don't remember either names). She killed me and, maybe because I died too many times, I was sent to the city of corpses. Unfortunately, I died there too and was teleported at the entrance of the last city. Now I'm betrayed by Vrael and Inae because they suspect me of becoming a "Hollow". I guess I've got the bad end due to all of the deaths I've been through. The thing is, I think I'm blocked there : When I win against them, the fight start again from the beginning, same thing when I die. I can't pause the game to change my inventory too.
Am I doing something wrong or have I softlocked the game ? Or is it normal and a way to telle that the hero is stuck in a loop of regret due to all the death he's been through ? Do i have to make another character then ?

You get stuck in some kind of loop around there but for me it begun after that fight. Just let them kill you so you get to an underwater area (I think that's how you actually got there aswell) and redo that path until you find a different path. It's not as mindblowing as you keep going.

How many time should I die to them ? I've let myself die 4 times already and I'm still stuck in that loop

And I can't even use a crow plume to warp to my last Death Statue...

I tried quitting and loading my save and I get this error :

Guess I'll have to start a new game...
Also, I forgot to mention that I'm playing the GOG version

the betrayal sequence. are u supposed to lose, or can u win, and if so does it effect the story, also i assumed it was a dream

I just made another character at this point and it really was a bug. I didn't get stuck this time and, even though I died against them, I could continue without any problem. Weird...
