Description
When pressing Esc during dialogue of Whispers of a Machine (ags:whispersofamachine), the behavior for ScummVM is different than in the original interpreter.
Reproduction Steps
- Start a new game
- While on the train with the old man (or any other dialogue), press the
Esckey to bring up the menu - Press the
Esckey again to resume play
Original behavior
The line of dialogue is skipped and the next one begins.
ScummVM behavior
The entire scene is skipped and the next one begins.
Tested on
- Steam version of the game, macOS
- ScummVM 2026.1.0, macOS
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
That's not a ScummVM issue; it's an upstream issue. I've reported it here: https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags/issues/2945
However, it looks like this isn't considered a high priority at the moment.
