In which a player attempts to read the game's digital manual but fumbles so badly that the whole main menu implodes.

The run lasts 48 seconds, timed from the first intro screen of the game while starting it up to when the game is finally softlocked.

The softlock is caused by a simple menu glitch. If you "accept" and "cancel" simultaneously while trying to read the manual, you return to main menu, except it's now empty. Since there are no options to do anything, you can't start playing. The only thing you can do is to access the social gaming menu Autolog, but that doesn't help in the least. Have to shut down game and try again to continue.
