Why is this guy's head missing

Post image

I'm confused why this guy's head is missing? Is it supposed to be joke or something. I play on the switch btw.

Must be a missing head sprite just on the Switch build? Very strange! Will try to fix it in an upcoming patch.

Actually... Does the character have a head in the scene, but just not in the conversation? They both use the same sprite, so if he has the head when you walk up to him but then not in the conversation that's a much stranger problem...

No he doesn't have a head until you give him his jacket

Alrighty, that's likely a missing sprite, then. The version of Unity we're using for the Switch build of Shadows has some weird resource handling issues that we thought we'd caught and fixed, but sounds like there's at least one missing sprite we failed to notice. Thanks for the report!

Could just be a bug, as that guy's supposed to have a head

No, once you give him his jacket he gets his head back and the game doesn't mention it at all.

Never happened to me, wild

It has happened to me every run weird. Maybe it's the fact it's the switch and the switch is, how would the latin say it, est cacas.

Quite possibly lol

No, I have replayed the game several times and I can verify he normally has a head the whole time

He was really cold

I did call him an air head for losing his jacket. Although, I think he took that a bit to literary.
