Hello Mr. Bingoogus, I hope you're not still too mad at me to read this postTo add to that, because it's unique: This event is tied to two 'persistent' variables, meaning it isn't tied to a save, it exists outside of saves, you can do it in one save and it will be unlocked for all of them. This means you can just freely jump to it from wherever in the game, finish it and then just close the game without saving, no save of any kind is needed, it's all hidden in the background code.
I feared it might be a classic Selly trap but i think you're just meant to see it when doing a full replay of the game, a sort of easter egg. It doesn't seem to do anything but make it available and then tick it off as having been seen, i'm quite unsure how you could tie it into a Selly trap later on without a good deal of risk for non 'cheating' players.
In the Amy event she asks you to make a save and come back to visit her later. Then in this event the dude in the pool says "Surely you did what she asked." and "Go ring the bell" and stuff (aka "go reload the save and go to taco bell"). All the stuff about variables is only because it's necessary since you need to reload an old save for this. It's possible to deduce this independently, especially if you pay double attention to the vine man when he's the only one without meaning for the puzzle itself. (Although this one really sucked since pre-0.42 saves seem to crash my game so even though I made a backup save it was hell actually accessing the event. Partially my own fault for using progress mod as well.)
