First floor game breaking quest

[fidofetch]

I just finished selling all the drugs, went home paid the bills and came back, well now I have about 900 money and 700 authority, as soon as I walk through the metal detectors I get called to the office where it costs either 1000 money or authority or you die. The oldest save is at the start of the day.

If by the start of the day you mean the day in which you walk through the metal detectors and get called into the office, then your saves will be of no use to you. Make sure to manually save often before making a choice you think will have consequences in the future.

If you haven't visited the square or walked around the building (the two options that appear when you click on your house door to go somewhere, available only once per run) then there is still some hope to get out of this soft lock. At the start of the day, turn back home and pay any bill that is due today, ignore the ones that you still have time on. Choose the option to walk around the square and you will read about a guy needing help with a sofa. Question where he got it and press him using authority. He will try to bribe you, accept the bribe. If you don't have $1,000 by now, visit the square. Choose the option to wait/stand in the square (don't remember exactly what it says). Someone will come and nod at you, walk away from them. You will hear an explosion, run back to the square. Someone is in need of help, take/steal their watch, don't help them. You will get more than enough to pay off your boss and maybe a bill or two.

Other than that, I can't think of another way to get out of this situation of yours. If you have any other save, use those. If not, you can always restart the game, maybe go for some different achievements, and make better choices, knowing more information than you did last time.

I've already gone to all the places I can from my house. It seems like an issue that needs to be corrected with the auto saving, since it seems like there are quite a few situations that will lead the game to be locked in a state similar to this. I will probably restart but it's still terribly annoying.

How many days do you have left on your bills? Are there any you can wait until the next day to pay, or do you need to pay all of them that night?

The issue is that I've already paid them and the oldest save available is the start of the new day.

Honestly, sounds a bit like a soft-lock. I find that working with Legrand on this point isn't worth the cost.

It's a thing you'd have to remember in future games.
