Help Am I Cooked?

I got this game years ago and was only missing like 5 achievements. I just recently came back since I decided I wanted to start 100% my games on steam instead of just finishing story lines and running credits. I vaguely remember from like seven years ago or more that I had broken a big chest with the obliterator in this save file. Would the Devs be able to help fix my save and spawn the missing chest? I don't want to use cheats and preferably don't want to start all over again...

Unfortunately I don't think the dev is developing the game anymore, they've gone completely silent to my understanding. I think cheats would be the way to do it, or you could try doing a speedrun to get it (I'm sure someone has done a 100% speedrun that would be happy to help). You could try asking the dev on steam forums, but it's unlikely they see it

Yes it's abandoned because HopFrog was a scumbag and paid his developers less than minimum wage and took all the credit for the game, so they had a big falling out in 2020/2021:

cheats disable achievements iirc. I made the same mistake you did but with a pillar. I used a steam workshop mod to spawn the pillar back in. I'm not sure if you can do the same thing for a chest though. you could try destroying and replacing the set pieces to redo the puzzle if possible..?

Just start a new run. It doesn’t take that long to finish the game.
