[spoilers] Stuck in Dammek's Home

[arsine]

End of the game, I grabbed the vet kit and the hoverpad, went downstairs, and went down into the safe room. I should have gone through the grate, but I went back into the room that has the elevator in it and I can't exit. I "hacked" the Grubbles password earlier, so the game can't bring up a way for me to open the doors leading to the safe room and the kitchen, and the Lusus is still being heard in the elevator shaft. I think I'm caught in a loop.

Joey doesn't want to go down the elevator shaft, and I can't use the hovepad to interact with anything. Am I missing something, is there any way to progress in game from this room?

...I also overwrote the (single) save file I've been using, so I can't return to a place where I wasn't in this room. Do I have to start over or is there a way to recover the save?

This same thing has happened to me twice.

In my first playthough, I did things in this order:
-got milk, then bowl
-walked up stairs, got hoverpad, vet kit, moved drums.
-tried to leave from that room, got the message that the lusus was by the kitchen door, so I went back there
-distracted lusus with milk. went through safe room door.

When I got back to the big room, it still said the lusus was in the elevator shaft. Same situation as described by OP. I tried saving, quitting, and reloading, and nothing changed. It's a bug that makes it impossible to finish the game.

So I did another playthrough because I hadn't bothered saving, which I was less than happy about. This time in this order:
-got milk, then bowl
-distracted lusus at kitchen door
-walked up stairs, did hoverpad vet kit, moved drums
-grabbed book before I left (I hadn't grabbed it earlier in this run)

Again got to the kitchen and same situation. I'm guessing this part apaprently has to be done in a very specific order starting from when you exit the safe room for the first time, or the game won't work. Of course I was a dumbass and saved after this (once I got in the kitchen), so I'm about to have to play the whole game a third time...... yay.

ok so after reading and rereading your situation and recreating your actions by details given in your second play through i have come to the conclusion that you are simply attempting to go through the wrong door it looks like your trying to get to the lusus through the kitchen door instead of his dammeks bedroom/hivebedroomthing door. have you tried that door???

wtf devs?!?! Are you not going to fix this annoying ass bug? I'm running into the exact same problem

it doesnt really matter in wich order you do this since its a flag game. Basicly everything can be answered with yes/no (even if its not how its made it can be simplefide as such), once one or multiple flags are tripped it lets you progress, by for example opening a door, its a foolproof system, the only thing that can go wrong is if a flag is not set.

this is how most games does it when it comes to objectives.

– Click the cabinet for a bowl and the fridge for the milk (lower left of the door).
– Combine the two then click the door with the bowl of milk. This’ll feed [Deercat].
– Head upstairs into the… We’ll call this an Attic too.

Attic
– Grab the hoverpad and talk to Xefros (auto).
– Grab the vet bag from the couch in the back off to the left.
– Walk further left and remove the junk with the hoverpad, then talk to Xefros yet again (auto).
– Walk downstairs into the Safe Room and head back into the Computer Room.

Computer Room
– Walk left to the next panel; the one with the [Deercat].
– Use the book you got from the Safe Room on the [Deercat] to learn about it.
