pretty sure I'm softlocked, I can only travel between the classroom and the hallway with the initial black flames that block you from walking. When I try to enter the room after saving the girl and her dog, it says "There are more important things to do" but I have no idea how to transform if not in that room.
if dev is here, I played through first cycle and rebuffed the fat guy, got the transformation on the second cycle (didn't help chubby) and then immediately died before proceeding. On third cycle I explored town a bit and got the id 'fixed' and did the VP shoe quest, then went to the classroom. Talked to the nurse for the first time, fought everything and saved the girl and dog, and now all I can do is walk back and forth re-fighting enemies.I don't die when I lose so I can't get a new cycle
I'll just restart since its early but this seems like a bug
