AGS: Heroine's Quest: Stamina refills automatically in hot springs (original bug)

[bliznik]

There's a bug in Heroine's quest where your stamina will sometimes be refilled. I was able to recreate this condition reliably during a playthrough. Using the savegame here, run (which depletes your stamina) E. N, E, S, E, E, N, E, S until you get to the hot springs. Then use the pick in the pack to grab some coral. This refills the stamina gauge for some reason. Not a game-breaking bug, but it's weird.

Thanks for the report, but this is not a ScummVM bug. The same thing happens in the Steam version (I loaded your save, you just need to rename it as agssave.[anynumber].hqthor and put it in the saves directory).
This looks like a bug in the game script, or a regression in the AGS engine if it didn't happen on older versions (the latest update to Heroine's quest was in september)

What happens is that chiseling off the coral takes a long time. This is not shown on-screen but it advances the game clock. And advancing the clock refills your stamina.

Thanks for reporting, but this is not a bug.

Thanks for the explanation! Closing
