items locked in container in grey mother's house.
I just placed all my food in fridge + wook in wood storage at grey mother house in wintermute, and i can't get them back ! and do you know what ? there is no warning : "these items will be locked bcause of the quests" NO warning, i just lost lik all my food and woodstuff. super nice idea.
any idea to get them back (even with cheats) ?

There is no way to get your items back as you gave it to her as part of a quest. You could restart the episode or go looking for more food and wood. In story mode, there is plenty of resources.

If it's any consolation. there is a similar quest in episode 3 but the game let's you remove items, probably in response to complaints about this. However, this is not possible in episode 1.

They could own the game on another platform. Also, this is not the first time someone has complained about being unable to remove items from the fridge and woodbox in episode 1.

people already complained ? then why devs doesn't add a warning or make impossible to place more items than needed, i see a fridge, i place my items in, that's just "normal".
Now i can't get any food because i placed the food of whole milton in this fridge
i'll just go to the climb spot and pray to not starve to death....

That seems a bit dramatic. Kill a couple of rabbits. You'll find food in the transition zone before the next area, and then even more food in the next region. You'll be fine.

i'll be fine i guess, but still, that's cost nothing to add a warning, especially if they did it for episode 3

BTW, did you also pick all the cat tails? if not, you can find a bunch near the frozen lake areas - that should keep you going for a couple of days.

So do you own the game on Epic? Why are you posting on Steam?
maybe because there is no forums with satisfying amount of players who can answer my question?

OP- you know that you can reload earlier saves in Wintermute, so you can replay parts and change what you do, right?
And Wintermute Story mode is not permadeath like Survival or Challenge Modes- you cannot die. If you do, you respawn in Wintermute, and get to try again.

Wintermute is scripted (you are following a scripted Story), so in Episode 2 your encounters with The Old Bear are scripted, they will happen when they are supposed to, and you cannot avoid them, but you can reload an earlier autosave, checkpoint save or manual save you have made yourself, and try again if they go badly.
