So i caught something, if you hit continue instead of new game, the game won't let you use the starting chair. Also Luni and Lumi won't spawn either in the bar room.
Should also note for anyone who finds this, no, you can't advance the scene in the office past the first stage (I.E Grab Luni's cupcake and then invite her in)
If you want an actual scene you'll have to click on the test scene in the game mode menu.
