I have not tried to recreate the bug with the office. After having the game lockup in the office again afterwards, I assumed it was the same bug, so I didn't save and reload before making similar choices again.
So I have to do two things now.
• Get caught by boss before seeing movie scene (as I haven't chosen romantic, choosing it would muddle the test) and see what happens
• The biggest challenge Recreate seeing the scary movie before getting caught. What makes this so hard is that the house event is random, and the lockup happens the next day, I may not get caught by the boss. Getting caught by… Sara…? May not have the same result. I need to try and recreate it to see if it's a one-off bug, or if it can be easily recreated to get more information.
