Defect Description

Chapter Lamentation, level Raining Blood

When Vaulting over the stalls in the showers where there is blood spraying from the shower head the player can climb on top of the stall and walk along the beams in a crouched position

Severity

Minor

Steps to Reproduce

1.     Go to the shower areas of the pool

2.     Go into the shower stall with the shower head raining blood

3.     Look into the corner and walk into

4.     Press jump while holding back

Actual Behaviour

The player is crouched above an intended area where they’re not supposed to be

Expected Behaviour

I expected to either not climb over the stalls or to completely vault over the one into the other but instead got stuck

Evidence

I described the evidence in this spreadsheet file named TEST_SUITE.xlsx. A screenshot of the spreadsheet has been placed below.

Workaround

The program still works in spite of the defect and there is no real backlash for he player, it causes the flow of the game to slow down and might lead to further exploits for future players to cause more severe glitches or bugs.
