what you showed me and I see myself. The difference is what happens AFTER that conversation. Does the MC normally leave this location? Did you check?
usually it is logical that if you lack something, then you are not let in somewhere, but not let out only, when you are NOT let out without something. for example, in the silver hall, when you make a nun a whore, when you take a pot of sand from a push button, you are locked with a gate. but the fact is that you have everything to open the gate - you put the pot in place and the gate opens. and this is not the situation as in this location, where you can not receive anything and give nothing away. yes, you can not talk to Amy. and then you don’t catch the bug and you can leave the location. and yes, if anything, my score is 178 points (that is, I scored 178 dolls)
I repeat, nothing is needed to exit this location. I only need to enter the gate - two piles of sand, two rags and two ropes - since I opened the gate - so I found everything I needed. oh yes, and I also found a rusty knife, because otherwise I could not cut the rope into two parts.
even if you are right and I really miss some thing, then this all the more proves the presence of a bug in the game, when the contents of the pockets affect the correct behavior of the game engine. and there is precisely the incorrect behavior of the engine, which allowed the character to go where he should not be (if we take for the working version that you are right and I am missing some thing, then tell me what thing I need to enter this location?)
