"Sooooo if the game crashes during the final cutscene (which it did for me - this run was very crash-prone) then you end up in a glitched state where you can't interact with the stasis pod (because you've already done so) and the game can't end (because you can't interact with the stasis pod).

I tried dying to see if a magic flag had already been set, which was hard because apparently all enemies get despawned when you hit the stasis pod, so I had to starve, but no dice; the death took priority. I got cheated out of credit for a victory. :\"
