HELP Stuck in a completely black room, almost void-ish.

[[SE]Cimitashi]

I'm stuck in a completely black room, almost void-ish, I can walk around and equip my clipboard. Can't seem to find a way out though.

Common bug. What I do is don't sprint when you trigger the endless hallway event. Apparently when you sprint, the area sometimes don't load completely and you stuck with black area.
For now just press ESC then continue from last autosave. If not ,just ALT+F4

Was this with the endless hallway event? I've create a fail-safe for it but it could still have an issue. Thank you!

I just got this. I'm stuck in a black room, I can see a faint light source and if I look down at my body I can just make it out. I'm still walking around but appear to be hitting obstacles of some kind, the walking animation either slowing down or stopping which is why I think that.

I was walking back and forth in a hallway with brick walls at either end, some weird noises but nothing else. I'd walked back and forth maybe 5-6 times when I decided to just stop at one end (the end making more noise) and wait, that's when it went dark, like the lights went out but with no audio cue to go with it, just went black.

EDIT: Reloaded from main menu, same event happened again shortly after but seemed to have worked fine this time. I thought I was going crazy the first time. XD

Hi, even after the patch, I experienced this soft lock void glitch. I embalmed all three bodies and was checking the new mark on the second body. I was checking his right arm. Then the white dress lady appeared at the door of the corridor. I stop checking and went into the corridor then the event happened. I was knocked down and dragged by someone. Then I'm in complete void. I can't see nothing. No switch on the wall. I can press Space but I can't see the clipboard. I can press Tab and sanity check. But there's no way to proceed from here. I had to Exit and Continue from the main menu.
I usually play on windowed mode but I was on full screen when this glitch happened. Before this glitch happened, one of sigils on the wall became empty.
BTW, can you show the version number in the menu screen?

I encountered this room after ending my first shift being possessed. The game gave me the option to "continue" and selecting that put me in the void. I had to quit and start a new shift.

Literally just had this happen to me, walked about for ages (well, i think I did) and gave up.

it did the same thing for me after choosing continue after 1st shift. what i did was ESC, MAIN MENU, the hit CONTINUE again and it loaded me correctly into her apartment for 2nd night shift. from what i noticed the AI learns from your playstyle, so i try to use continue when possible cuz i noticed it changes its strategies on you.

I may be wrong, but I feel ive noticed a huge difference in demon AI between selecting continue for next shift instead of choosing new shift. i'm assuming it saves its behavior profiling of you and pulls it into next shift when you press continue.

for me it was the lady in the hallway on the way to the lobby to put up an embalming report. she grabbed me right as i was heading into the dark hallway to from the exam area, and it was just all black

I genuinely thought it was a puzzle since you can kinda walk towards the sound of the fan…for like 30 minutes.

I did the same thing. Do devs who can't be bothered to fix bugs after they make an unexpected fortune, care if they waste enormous combined amounts of time people can't get back? Do they believe their time is several orders of magnitude more important than those who were led to believe they were purchasing a finished program, as opposed to a beta test version? On the other hand, on a Steam Deck, they only allow half the time before you become automatically possessed than on a PC. I almost sent the $700+ thing, including sales tax, back for other reasons. If I'd known it would cause problems with the vast majority of games, including the the other "Verified" options, I wouldn't have hesitated.
