The Silver Case (PS4) - event glitch in Koichi's home
5Saving inside Koichi's home at a specific point during the case Spectrum causes mysterious glitch effects, or so it seems.
---
0:00 - at the point in the level where you enter Koichi's home for the 2nd time and there's a cutscene trigger you can walk into in his room, saving and reloading makes something new to happen.
0:49 - I first noticed something was wrong when the area titles became visible upon loading the save.
(To note, if you walk into the Koichi cutscene while the titles are visible, you regain movement inside the cutscene. So this is like an alternative way to regain control inside HQ to do the Quiz Skip a bit later in the level.)
Saving a second time, something even weirder happens...
1:24 - upon loading the save again, the cutscene you see on the highway with Hachisuka begins for some reason. You can overlap it with the Koichi cutscene by walking into his room, which causes a momentary glitchy effect. But the overlapped dialogue generally ends once you start seeing the FMV clips.
2:33 - if the cutscenes are overlapped and the Hachisuka cutscene is still underway at the end of the fade out, the game becomes softlocked.
(Not on the video: saving one more time during the Hachisuka cutscene seemingly returns things to normal, aside the overlapped music.)

Overall, I can't be 100% certain whether this is something that consistently happens in this spot on every playthrough of if it could be a side effect of me having done something glitchy early in the level. It wouldn't hurt to test it some more at some point.
