Thanks for the game.
Here's a quick fix for those who can't wait.
You'll need to restart from before the hooker job though. (See
this post why). (EDIT: wrong link)
If I may, I'd advise the dev to use much less "jump to label".
You can do the same with multiple event tabs and a tracking variable. It would result in code which is easier to debug and to evolve. Just my humble opinion
Switching to renpy would make sense, but I'd expect it would take some time to convert what's already there., especially the hootee's job.
