The confirmed launch issue
Rusty Lake acknowledged missing inventory items alongside the launch save problem and released version 1.5.6 as a corrective hotfix. Player examples included the cloth or matches disappearing after a transition or restart.
Recommended order
- Confirm the game is updated to 1.5.6 or later.
- Restart and load the affected chapter again.
- Do not follow old workarounds that ask you to edit or replace files unless the current official support post instructs you to do so.
- Contact Rusty Lake support through the route in the latest official update if the required item remains absent.
