Let's Play Sierra Games - Deep Dive... Into EcoQuest 1. Get it? Deep dive? Because it's an ocean?

Just finished your commentary video. I only played the games recently and only twice, so I don't really have to much to say. Both games are pretty charming and relatively easy. I did see the point where you apparently got stuck. I don't remember if I encountered the same problem. It seems odd that such an obvious dead end would be there. A player will most likely not have everything they need when you find the drums, and then the game deliberately removes the suit so you can't go back in? Maybe the suit is back in the chest?

I do wonder, if that's where the suit goes. But there's no text that says "Adam puts the suit in the chest." It seems to just vanish. So the logic/leap to assume it went back there, when Adam carries everything else, seems like an odd one to make. But the chest would, obviously be unlocked, so you could just open it again, if that is indeed where the suit goes if you remove it.

Maybe the programmers had to make it so the suit could only be used in that cave? And one solution was not making it an inventory item. I'm just guessing. If it isn't an actual dead end, then it is unclear what to do next.
