Grey screen bug [Possible spoilers]
I'm on the 4th layer and I was at the bit with the ringing phones where you had to find the numbers to input into the phones. Was on the lasst phone and inputted the code. Nothing happened, everything stayed the same. Inputted the code again, still the same. Double checked it was the right code by looking up youtube videos. Yeah it was right.

The only difference I can see that I did differently to youtubers was I got curious the first time I went up onto a ledge and I jumped off.

So after 3 tries of inputting the code I tried another, 853 into the last phone. Screen then faded to grey and I was stuck there. I then quit back to the menu and pressed continue only to find I was back to the start of the layer at my magnum opus and I at that point just rage quit for the night and decided to see if anyone else had this issue.

I'll go back tomorrow and see if it does it again...

I'm guessing the grey screen is something to do with the game messing up loading the area so it throws you to a defult blank area.

Has anyone else had this problem? Or had the grey screen anywhere else? Or at least knows how to fix it?

Thanks

The gray screen happens to some people - it indeed is a bug. It has been fixed and is being prepared to roll with the next patch. Once you restart the game it shouldn't occur again, so you can try to replay this room.

Awesome thanks, I'll replay it as soon as I can today.

Is it a thing with the grey screen bug that it restarts the whole part again? Because I read somewhere that it autosaves when you enter a room so if you leave the game even though you are back at the canvas if you go through the door you're back to where you where. That did not happen to me after the grey screen.

I love the game so far though! I love atmospheric games like this with a great storyline. So good replayablility though with the different paths, I'm sure it's going to take me quite a while to finish everything :D

Got past that part and right now I'm stuck outside the map :P I'm at the part where it's got the checkers board in the middle with the different areas around it. I picked up the checkers piece and the doll (Im guessing thats what pushes you) threw me into the cooker. Picked up the piece again and the doll threw me again but this time I went through the wall and out of the map.

EDIT: Just reloaded the save, got put back to the start of that area.. damn this game can get fustrating when it breaks :P

This is really weird. We'll make a double check to see why this happens.

I got curious and decided to play around a bit with it so I tried standing in different places and yes, all around there in the places that I could reach the checkers piece you get thrown through whatever is behind you. Because it throws you the opposite way to where you're looking it was slighty awkward to stand infount of the pillars to try and see if I would go through them as there was some slight collision.

http://prnt.sc/ailmhr Managed to get a screenshot of me inside one of the pillars, The 2 black lines are the corners of the pillar and you can walk about normally inside of it and you don't get stuck, you can just walk right out of it.

Hope this helps!

We've already found the culprit. It will be patched up in the next update. Thx for the screen and feedback!

No problem! Thanks for the game, It's so well made and it's great you respond so fast! If I see anything else I'll make sure to let you guys know :D
