Hello good people of GOG community,

While enjoying Killing Time and slowly nearing the end, a rather annoying bug has started showing up regularly:
When I load a saved game, no matter how much health I have, 15% or 100%, i get killed by a single shot or a single source of damage, such as stepping into fire for a mere second, which makes progressing through this game impossible. When I played this game about 10 years ago on a original version, I did not encounter this bug then.

Did anyone encounter this bug before and found a fix/workaround for it?

I've encountered the issue as well. Currently found no way of fixing it. However, I also noticed a different but related issue - when I had 100% hp and got hit by a fireball, like the ones shot by the floating skull enemies, my health jumped to 200% and then got reduced by 10 or so damage that the fireball dealt.

This is super late, but I may have found a solution to the bug : I used the winged vessel "Chest : a river of life" and then really carefully got hit for just a weeeee bit of damage (stepped on fire in the flaming rooms) and now it seems I can get damaged normally. I also seem to be able to heal up to 200% health now, which may or may not be a bug.
