However, if you give him the record right away, he never convinces you to leave, and you don’t need to re-enter the office. Once Alfono kicks you out, the scene is over, and you can proceed to the next part of the game. I included the failed talking attempt in the walkthrough because I wanted the player to get the full story and realize what the record is doing.

The situation is probably exacerbated by the fact that there is no hint as to what you need to do after talking to Camino. At that point, you just need to return to the Baron’s mansion to trigger the assault scene, but there is no hinting for this due to the location specific nature of the hints. I will definitely do something about this in the post-comp release.

This marks the third seperate occasion where someone has assumed the game was broken due to a misleading walkthrough. Clearly, I need to work on my walkthrough writing skills.

I’ll give it another shot and let you know.

Thank you for you review of PataNoir. I am glad not everyone thinks my puzzles are completely impossible. However, I am baffled as to how you managed to get the game in an incompletable state by giving the record to Camino early. It really shouldn’t matter when you give it to him, and I have been unable to reproduce the problem. Do you think you could try to reproduce it, and send me a bug report?

What, you don’t like floating eyeball meat?
