The place it crashes in when you first go down into the basement. I get a thing saying that the bookcase closed behind me, then I go into the next room and hear some creepy noises and right before I go through the door to the prison area, it crashes. I used level editor to move the player location down into that area, then when I went through the door, a suitor spawned behind me. Everything after that went fine. I think since the crash happened at the exact moment that, once I fixed it, the suitor spawned, it's the suitor spawning that's causing the crash. And since it worked once I skipped the intro, then I think it's something that happens between the intro and that part that is conflicting somehow with the suitor spawning. Hopefully that helps you out in hunting down the problem

Also, sorry for the inconvenience and you nailed the idea about the easy/hard difficulty.

You did, however miss a small part. The key you picked up unlocks the cell with the talking guy. Also, you revealed a continuity error to me. Thank you so much for playing it.
