Edna & Harvey: The Breakout - Lunchtime Glitch

Now I have finished this game, but before I even BEGIN with a review, I need to post this up for anyone who is stuck with the dreaded 'Lunchtime Glitch'. I'll try and be non-spoliery in this post too for those who want to play the game or those who are already mid-way.

At one part of the game, you will come across a Lunch menu which you have to edit to solve a puzzle. Here it is


Here we have a frustrating and near game-breaking bug where once you pick up a menu-option, it becomes impossible to place a menu option down on the spot where you originally picked one up from. It also becomes impossible to exit this screen other than shutting the game down. Thankfully auto-saving stops any real loss of progress here.

The solution is on the launcher menu, before you have even begun the game. Simply change to 'German' and the puzzle should work as intended. Just remember that 'Roast Chicken is 'Hühnerbraten' and Potatoes turns to 'Kartoffeln'. If you want to save, make sure you save correctly... or just walk out of the kitchen and back in, letting the auto-save kick in. Then quit, go back to English and everything should work smoothly from that point onwards.
