Tonight’s the night. End of Postmortem.
The QA team had found a sequence-breaking bug. If you collected a blood slide, then paused, then restarted the checkpoint during the “Kill Room Reveal” cutscene, the game would soft-lock. But not just soft-lock. It would trigger an un-coded animation: Dexter would turn to the camera, eyes black, and whisper—in a voice that was not Michael C.

One bug had Masuka permanently T-posing while delivering a line about blood spatter. We never fixed it. If you collected a blood slide, then paused,
He had deleted it. Then it reappeared the next day.
