ParticipantAt one point in the game you swim up to a drift net (“north” of the “octopus scene”) and you can free a lobster there. The problem is you can’t swim back down. Or up. Or any other direction, apparently once you go into that screen you cannot exit. Trying to go back down sends you down, but then immidiately sends you back up to the net (as in a cutscene) for some reason.
The walkthrough I have does not mention this place at all, and it does not appear necessary to win the game but I would say it’s needed if you want all the points.
I am pretty sure the game is up to date (patch).
I don’t suppose any one here has any idea what I am talking about? Please? 🙂

Hey there,I assume you mean the scene where you open the old trunk and let the crab out? The one with a skeleton?

Participantno no no.. I think its the lobster you free with the sharp shell. Is your screen, full screen? sometimes if the game is playing in a window, you might have to maximize it and restore it to get it to be clickable.. if that makes sense 😛

ParticipantOh yes, it is full screen and clickable, the game literally sends you back though. Another suggestion I had was it was because of the system speed, this seems very dubious to me but I guess I should try it.
Edit- I tried it in Dosbox and amazingly it works fine (although slowly, lol). The whole game worked perfectly up to this point. Oh well, thanks for the help!
