Question concerning saving Curly

So I drained the water from her then left after, not trying to talk to her or anything. I only now realized I shouldve tried talking to her. So does she ever come back since I didn't talk to her again?

 

She NEVER comes back.
EVER.
AGAIN.

Spoiler

if she isn't on your back when you're done "saving" her in the cabinhouse, then ya fucked up

 

Nope. After you drain the water from Curly, interact with the computer in the cabin, then you have the choice to take Curly with you or leave her behind. Take her.

 

Theoretically, you may go back in the cabin to retrieve Curly if you decide to go back in right after you get out by accident.

 

Sorry, but there's no way. Im pretty sure that almost all cave story players have felt your pain. I talked to booster on my first play and had to start the whole game over.

 

I'm sure if you gave us a copy of your profile.dat, someone could change a flag and fix it for you.
