Soft Locked or am I Missing something

[SunSailor]

I'm just at the end of the mine dungeon and reached the safe room. But, other as in Persona, I can't rest to fill up HP/MP, nor can I fast travel out of the dungeon. I'm out of MP, I'm out of money and I don't stand any chance against that chicken human, so to me, it feels there is no way ahead and no way back.
Am I simply missing something here or did I really managed to soft lock my progress that early in the game?

Same happened to me. I hated that part in P5, and seems it is going to be similar in Metaphor. Found myself trapted on Grand Cathedral, 0 MP with 3 members....Had to change difficulty to "History mode" in order to be able to defeat last boss in the demo according to my circumstances.

just dont use the " heal to full while in dungeon, quick way to use up ur mp. use items instead. On hard i got to that boss with around 70% mp for all my characters.
Saying that though, i totally agree, that rest spots should refull ur hp/mp. otherwise what really is the point of calling it rest spot lol.

If you give the MC the Mage archetype, you can earn MP back by beating up enemies in action-rpg mode.

Ok, that sounds like something to try, thank you! Although I'm still irritate about the nature of the resting room without resting option...
Edit: Yes, that seems to do the trick - thanks again. Wonder, if that will be the pattern for grinding in the further game, beat the respawn, until they are all gey, then progress to the boss". From a game design perspective an interesting solution, although grinding for a whole hour was only fun on the level listening to the music.
