Bug: the hero can eat the poisoned porridge
... without any result other than this game being otehrwise unfinishable.
He really should transform into a cat, then the game being finished as if he died.

That should already be the case. Any chance you can upload or attach a savegame file demonstrating where this bug occurs?
Re: Bug: the hero can eat the poisoned porridge
I had not saved the game in that situation, but I can replicate it and give you 2 saves, 1 before and 1 after.
I will do that a bit later (I cannot right now) and update this thread.

Re: Bug: the hero can eat the poisoned porridge
Here is the save file.
If I click the porridge on the hero, he transforms into a cat, BUT if I click the porridge on the table he sits next to the wizard and start eating it.
What I had not noticed before is that the porridge is still in inventory after that, while trying this with any of the 3 foods that were on the kitchen table used them.
Regardless, he WAS eating it while sitting at the table, even if he was interrupted.

Interesting find!
However, I can't see the savegame file attached to that previous post...

Re: Bug: the hero can eat the poisoned porridge
Well, I was saving it, took a long time, then the upload window closed so I assumed it was done even if I could not see it.
The file is about 2.8 Mb, maybe the forum settings have a problem with it ?
I tried again, at the end of the download there is a red message in the forum area just under 'Post a reply': 'The extension kq3save is not allowed.'
I copied it into a zip file which looks much too small, trying to upload that now.

Re: Bug: the hero can eat the poisoned porridge
Hmmm... you might have clicked the HAND icon on the table, and mistakenly thought you'd clicked the tainted porridge bowl there instead. I just loaded your savegame and tried clicking the bowl on the table, but I received the generic narrator message. I double-checked the script in the source code and there are actually no inventory item interactions set up for use with the table.If I click the porridge on the hero, he transforms into a cat, BUT if I click the porridge on the table he sits next to the wizard and start eating it.

As for the music freeze, that bug didn't happen for me either. Even with the music volume slider all the way to the bottom, the entire cutscene played to the end and then returned control to me. But I've attached a savegame file to this post, so you can at least continue playing. It was saved right after the wizard is transformed into a cat.

Re: Bug: the hero can eat the poisoned porridge
No, I very definitely clicked the porridge on the table (a little bit on the left from the wizard, in case the location matters).
Clicking the hand on the table would not make the hero sit and eat, afaik.
Thanks for the save file anyway, downloading it now :-)

Re: Bug: the hero can eat the poisoned porridge
Could you post a screenshot with the mouse positioned exactly where you clicked, and also a screenshot of Alexander eating the porridge?
