get the silver ring, to de-charm first, then get the protection chant (restaurant)It's too easy to hard lock the game on the murder path. I have done absolutely everything I can do except the seance (instant lose) or steal the vase (lose the book, cannot do anything but get caught by Beasly, instant lose). Even the walk through says I should be able to do things like charming the police chief, but I can't do that as she is already charmed, so the game is stuck. There are no possible further actions that don't result in loss. It should not be this easy to lock the game state. I am here to play the game, not read the walk through (if I just wanted to watch thing happen I could go watch a video). The game locking up if you don't do an exact sequence of operations you can only know if you already know them constitutes a major bug.
talk to mother, return toprofessor housr, take the relic
there is not hard lock, still have things can be done
