No matter what I do, Dances with Shells goes nowhere, & the shell puzzle in Undermoore Passage doesn't want to work whatsoever, I deleted my save, I deleted my save state, I tried various versions, but that puzzle is broken, leaving me no choice but to give up on A2MT, its a shame too, I was liking it a lot, then stuff like that happened & broke me.
Huh. I'll have to try and see it for myself.
Hope your luck improves.
Please pardon the eye.
