Not being able to reset individual rooms has completely ruined this experience for me.

Having to restart the ENTIRE game for a FORTH time just because I failed to do something in the obscure order the devs wanted released the small bird before shocking it for berries in Mrs. Pheasants room this time .

So now instead of enjoying the game at my own pace I need to rush through all the content I've ALREADY completed a FORTH time. I understand these devs come from FTP flash games and this is their first premium release far as I know but that doesn't excuse such a massive oversight.

This is basic stuff- learn how to set these things up before you bother releasing a game out to the public.

Edit: I now have to restart a FIFTH time. Just uninstalling and leaving a negative review at this point.

It's an unfixed bug as far as I can tell. Screw this game.

Yes ! I agree. This is very annoying.. I missed 'the spoiler section' too, and have to start all over.
Too bad we can not start at a certain day or dish...

I finished it, but I ended up skimming a walkthrough after I also kept having to reset the game whenever I made (or re-made) mistakes. And that kind of ruined the last two levels for me. I couldn't enjoy solving the puzzles. :(

It is kind of rigid. I mean, not being able to get the white beans in Mr Rabbit's room because I stabbed the hand in the box before cutting open the portrait made me annoyed, but it wouldn't be near as bad if we could just reset individual rooms. Even after realized I made a mistake (read: did something out of order than what the game expected) then not being able to just remove the knife from the hand so I could reuse it after realizing what I needed to do? Pure rage.

Though I admit later I got the swords in that room and that would have probably worked

Wow I never even thought of that! I've reset because of that and I was pretty peeved. It DOES work btw :)

Totally agree. It's like they did it on purpose. I've reset three times now and JUST missed white wine because it's only available PRIOR to you cooking the dinner. But you are programmed to cook dinner right away after first two rooms. It's like the devs made the extra ingreds as annoying as possible to encourage extra play throughs. It's really dumb.

I don't see a problem. Repeating over again will be easy once you know what to do. take a breather before continuing. Take a break if you need one. Write stuff down and carefully scan the room is the greats tools in a puzzle game. Rushing only make it worse.

Also, don't let your negativity ruined the game experience this is often the case with most people. Exceptions creates negativity going into the game and when its not met it will be crush leaving the person with a bitter taste. Always go in with an open mind and positive mind set to enjoy the full experience of the game. By doing this anyone can appreciate what the game has to offer.

I remember as a little kid thinking it would be cool to make a game where the player can become catastrophically painted into a corner by bad decisions. There were few games back then, and none of them were inexpensive, so it wasn't uncommon to have completed every game you own and spend a significant time replaying games you'd already finished.

Even then, I knew that in order to make this work you need to be able to continue on after a failure, and then experience a proper failure ending. Needing to revert to an earlier save (a staple of good puzzle games now for almost half a century), only to find that there is no revert option, isn't a failure ending. It is a fatal exception error.

Try Star Citizen, even if you have a 'perfect' game it will still end catastrophically.

There is an update available, it's now possible to reset every room individually to get the missed ingredients :)

Saw that, pretty great.

Hi there, as of 2024, this is not true. You can reset a room maybe once. But for two bucks I guess whatever. But I'm now officially out of free time so will probably never finish.
