i came back to this game on a whim and it fucking sucks, i don't feel like elaborating today

for some reason my game doesn't let me go into the dragon statue's mouth and even after referring to a number of guides and videos it still doesn't work so i'll assume my save just got fucked somehow. wasn't really gripping enough for me to want to restart it and run all the way back to where i was, but maybe i'll come back to it one day
