In Abe's Oddysee I am in the stockyard level, the casualty board read 28 escapees 0 casualties, then I went forward a bit and saved the 2 mudokens in the level where you are chased and have to jump, went back to that same casualty board and now have 30 escapees and -3 casualties. Is this temporary? Will this affect the rest of the game? Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

I was just about to post about this. Here's mine.

It's notable that the total is still 99 employees, factoring in the -8 casualties. Did you find out whether the problem resolved itself?
