Love the game and the story but even with the guide there is still a big soft lock in that I am unable to start Marios quest at all. I still had a meeting with him in the garage early on, but I didn't go to his house right away, I just assumed it would come up later. I am now on day 50 with 3 hearts with Anna and Mario has not appeared again since, looking into other replies the common thought is that this is a soft lock to his quest, but what caused it and is there any way around this?
