Bug: escaping the first hunter

[Petster]

After getting stuck in the game I looked up a walkthrough and believe came across a bug that prevented me from continuing:

When escaping the first hunter I came across the area with wall of spikes/thorns on the right side of the screen. Apparently the hunter is supposed to run into them and die. However, before I got far enough, the hunter managed to kill me and the screen reloaded. Now, I can see the hunter in the room below, but I'm stuck in the area above it and can't get back down to trigger it to go after me. The only option is to reload the game from the previous checkpoint.

Otherwise the game seems excellent, fantastic atmosphere!

Is the hunter that thing in the room to the right of the cat person and the grate that you need to find the handle for? As soon as I go back to the cat person room it teleports behind me and kills me. I don't see nay wall of spikes though.

In the first escape plot,I triggered the bugs so that I can not continue this game and wait for a long time for the spike but nothing happen。。。 I operated the elevator during the escape and the monster come back to the last room... the street lamp is no reaction..

Did you ever fix this bug? I've just gotten stuck after the first boss. Same thing happened to me, hunter killed me just before hitting the thorns. I got the achievement (thorny end) but screen reloaded, now I'm stuck in that area.

I just got stuck there and thought I'm blind. But the hunter respawned in the room below the thorns, yet the hunt cannot be finished. There are more reports:

2023, still stuck on this bug. Doesn't help that it's pretty much guaranteed to get hit by the hunter and get knocked through the checkpoint.

2023/9/1, bug still.

Yep just happened to me 8th Jan 2024. Doesn't happen on the Switch version (to me anyway). Surely it can't be so hard to fix a bug like this 😑

Happened to me too. Reloading to the previous checkpoint does the trick though.
