I liked this a lot! But I am unsure about having finished; I'll try to keep this spoiler free. After I went through all of the doors, the criminal asked what gave them away, and after the text vanishing, nothing else appeared.

Hi! Thanks for playing the game :)
Indeed you may have encountered a rare issue just when you were about to complete it.
We've been looking into it and it is fixed now. Also, we have added a few more fixes and some QoL upgrades.

Hope you can revisit the manor and see how everything unfolds :)
