New description:

 In Part II of God Of Thunder, you eventually reach the cave of the God Of
 Fire Surtur. The sign there is supposed to say 'Back in 5 minutes', and
 when you try to leave, Surtur is supposed to appear. (See this gameplay
 video for how it's supposed to work, it has the right timestamp:
 https://youtu.be/MBMRsTSrI6Y?t=5858 )
 Instead, the sign says "Out to lunch", and you can leave the cave without
 anything happening.
 Talking to Surtur is required to continue the game, so this bug means the
 game can't be completed.
 The included savegame is when you have just entered the cave.
 (I tried to include a savegame from just before entering the cave, but you
 need to have polished shoes to climb a wall to reach it, and that save
 didn't store that you have polished shoes, which is a different bug)

 EDITED: It seems the problem is that not all flags get saved, because if I
 load the save, then go talk to the old man in the restaurant who tells you
 about Surtur, and THEN go to Surtur's cave, it works as intended. It went
 wrong last time because I saved and quit inbetween talking to the old man,
 and going to the cave.
 So the flags that don't get saved are whether you've improved your shoes
 or not for walking on Teflor, and whether you've talked to the old man to
 learn about Surtur
