Description (last modified by )
I can't extinguish the candle in the chapter "Tell-Tale Heart - Old Man" od The Dark Eye. The hand will make the shape to put out the candle but when clicked it doesn't do anything. I've tried reloading the game and going back to the main screen. I also have a daily build from a couple days ago. Everything else in the game seems to be working fine so far.

providing save at ending, just turn and extinguish the candle
(click on the heart box on the HEAD MENU)

Is it possible to attach a saved game for us to test with?
