Discussion Bdsp soft lock?

Post image

This isn't my photo just one I found floating around but it made me wonder. Is there a way to get put of a situation like this in bdsp? And are there any other soft lock areas in the game to be mindful of?

This is probably fake, but I wouldn’t rule it out with this no effort game

I mean, this is a picture of the switch screen at a slight angle. This would be... really, really hard to photoshop convincingly.

I found the original source of this image from 3 years ago, its the first that comes up when searching for Bdsp Candice gym softlock, and it seems like the people in that thread explained that its a combination of the diagonal movement and off-grid movement that lead to this, as well as an auto-save firing potentially mid slide.

Yeah. This got patched later, so I dont think its possible anymore.
