If you have the ladder and the corn in your inventory you have to use it in the same room to advance (IIRC)

hey thanks, but i used the ladder on the "big chest room" to open the bars, but now the corn i cant do anything on the same room, i got it equiped and it comes the hand icon but i can´t do anything...

Somewhat related question,
Is it possible to be softlocked in the game?

I've been thinking that if you use up all your coins on saves, you can't progress if you need to buy something, or worst case you'll be playing for a long time in a single sitting until you find another coin

hello! i think that´s my case, i´ve just don´t have enough coins to keep buying thing, the donkey is not anymore on its place and just, there´s nothing left to do and I can´t continue on the game...it seems silly but i think that´s my case :(

You can continue without having to buy the key. I was actually stuck in a same position. Right now you can use the corn on the chest. (if it's not working try equipping the corn and talking to the pig again). Go back to the pig after you've spread the corn and he'll go to the trap room. Lock him in and you'll get the last letter needed. However, allowing the goat man to party will cause either the pig, his mom, or both to be killed. The favorable outcome is trapping the pig as I don't know if you get the letter if he's killed. You can buy the key but it is not needed and I've gotten almost all the endings without ever buying the key. However, you will have to look for a guide on finding kobold's name if you don't buy the key.
Here's a pretty good guide that I think could help: https://gtm.you1.cn/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1252785173
Hope this helps!

heyllo! thanks so much for the help, but i really can´t throw the corn around the chest. I´ve talked to the humanpig and it always says something related with the farmer head, the farmer head tell me if i want a party, but that´s it.... i can´t do anything
Im a bit dissapointed to be stucked on this place :(

Probably a bit late now but the game is as far as I know never fully stuck. Have Hans confronted the pig about the letter being missing? For that to happen you have to solve the puzzle in the invisible bottom right I think? Room, pulling the 3 levers and then lighting all the torches to find the chest. This triggers the optional "slaughterpartyy" storyline which in all outcomes end up with you getting the letter in one way or another. You can't actually use the corn to trap the pig before this storyline has opened up either.

With all due respect, I'm loving your game, very beautiful, but I've been involved in the same soft lock as others in this thread. If possible, enable the “corn” dialogue option without having to solve the 3-lever puzzle to get the note from the chest. I don't think it makes sense that you can't progress unless you do, there's not much of a connection.
