Softlocked on AA: Episode 4 - Turnabout Goodbyes?

[EssWhy]

*MINOR SPOILERS*

I'm playing Episode 4 Turnabout Goodbyes, On the Day 2 investigation, after presenting and questioning Butz on the air tank, I’m supposed to confront Lotta on the fact that Gourdy doesn’t exist, there is supposed to be a 3-option select dialogue for this.

However, this dialogue never triggers. It keeps defaulting to Maya questioning Lotta on what she’d do if Gourdy doesn’t exist, but I’m not even given the option to tell Lotta that Gourdy doesn’t exist or present the air tank. So I'm just completely softlocked, and can't progress.

Am I missing something? I’ve looked up a video guide and I didn’t appear to skip any steps. Am I just forced to restart the entire case?

So basically you did:
- Presented Air Tank to Butz.
- Chose "Is it yours?" (2nd option)
- Chose "To inflate something" (1st option)
- Chose "Ask more about the tank" (2nd option)
- Talked to Butz.
- Chose "The flying air tank" (3rd option)

- Went to "Gourd Lake Woods"
- Talked to Lotta.
- Chose "Gourdy" (2nd option)
- Only "Nothing yet" and "We found him" were available as "Gourdy doesn't exist" was missing?

I don't think it's possible to get softlocked in these games (unless you choose wrong answer during trials and then save your game to softlock your path to game over).

If you get stuck, all you just need to do is examine everything, present any evidence to everyone and choose all the dialog options available until you make some progress. Examining and presenting evidence sometimes open dialog choices.

I didnt even get to select any of the 3 options.

But yeah I realised my mistake thnx to your comment. Did not check that I have to question Butz a 2nd time on the flying air tank after presenting him on it, this game is weird sometimes...
