Summary 0002620: Softlock in school if playing Ms. Ross' and Ms. Dewitt's routes at the same time
Revision 2020-01-21 11:39 by Casiope
Description From Neo Nocturna and Summertime Saga Discord:

This involves Ms. Ross and Ms. Dewitt's storylines conflicting with each other, but it seems like any situation that would cause you to pass time within the school during Ms. Dewitt's storyline could cause the same scenario. For Ms. Dewitt, after the auditorium has been vandalized you follow paint footprints up to the Principal's office. After the scene, you're prompted to go meet Eve at the park at night, but attempting to leave the school at this time brings up text prompting you to speak to Ms. Dewitt first and see how she's doing. During this moment after the office scene but before talking to Dewitt, I attempted to progress through Ms. Ross' storyline by delivering the paint required for Principal Smith and Annie's portrait. After mixing the paints and completing the portrait, time then passes and it becomes night time in school. Attempting to leave at this time brings up the prompt to check in on Ms. Dewitt, however because it's now night time Ms. Dewitt is no longer in her classroom and is instead in her office on the 3rd floor. Attempting to talk to Ms. Dewitt in her office does not trigger the dialogue that allows you to leave school, you simply get normal office dialogue with no choices except "Nothing." available. You cannot leave school because you can't talk to Ms. Dewitt and progress the story and to my knowledge there's no normal way to access the map or skip time from within the school itself, so you are trapped in the school unless you have some other means to skip to the next day or force yourself to leave school.

And to resume: if an external event adds a tick when the player is in the middle of the assembly hall graffiti event (Ms. Dewitt's route) in the afternoon then the player is stuck in school forever.

To be tested, reproduced and forwarded.
