Softlocks

Hello, here are a few softlocks I've encountered:

-When I approach the keypad to the sewer, I can't ever leave. Regardless of whether I enter the right or wrong code, my camera is locked to the keypad and the only way out is to exit the game, ending the run. I've tried pressing everything on my keyboard, but nothing does anything. I can still hear Angel jump and the clack as she flips her phone, so I think the controls are still controlling her or something, possibly making it so that the contextual keypad exit button isn't active. This bug is consistent, I've had it happen all three times I've interfaced with the keyboard.

-The white van gives you a fate worse then death, instead of death. After learning that some deaths have unique text, I wanted to know what would happen if I ran in to a few enemies in particular. However, it turns out if you're moving towards the white van while it's also moving towards you, you just clip in to it. The enemy hitbox can't reach you while you're inside it, and you can't move, so you're forced to just watch the inside of the van model while it spins on an axis around you. I was able to recreate this immediately, it seems consistent as long as you're moving towards the van.

-Door shoving: When you open a fence door, it will push you a little as it swings open. But if the fence is too close to a wall, it will shove you through the wall and you won't be able to return.

-Bus purgatory: I was on the bus and attempted to talk to that little devil guy from brawler's world (?), but somehow got shoved and clipped outside of the bus. I couldn't get back in, had to reset.

-Dog leash: I picked up the dog leash in the foreclosed house and equipped it, and was shoved through the floor, leaving me to fall infinitely. Don't know why, maybe the ghost dog bit me and caused me to nudge downwards? Idk.

-Dialogue purgatory: I tried to talk to Wet Socks on the bus, but the phone menu glitched to show both his dialogue and my phone's menu at the same time. In that state, I wasn't able to select any of the dialogue options so I could never continue. Since you can't just end a conversation by walking away or anything like that, I was forced to just stare at him forever and had to reset my game.

Minor bugs:

-I was able to tell the dog mascot about the impersonator in the sewers, even though I've never seen it or been to the sewers.

-I can't put up the burger posters, because they're already up! Once the dog gave me the stack of posters, the locations I could place them already had posters on them, so I can't complete the subquest.

-Whenever I get the Amethyst ring in a run, it appears on the "get item" screen every time I get any item after that in a run.

I'll post more major glitches if I find them!
