Eating fleshpear, wearing the EGR suit and then going to the lab to try and get through with the level 4 card didn't work either so it can't be that, I never even got hit by a malice before so I don't think it could be that, when you get hit by Malice your character turns into Alice right? mine looks normal, It especially sucks since I did all of the puzzles and collected all of the pages in this save, I started a new one but I feel like its just worthless to do everything again, maybe I'll just wait for the next story chapters and try to complete them in this save even if its bricked, I'm not even sure what could have caused it that's what's messed up, it just says "Unkown Organism Detected" (Unknown is misspelled) and doesn't open the door. Is there a way to just permanently turn into Jessica maybe? so I don't have to deal with this again.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I did the ritual of life in the forest since I heard it cleanses parasites but that also did not help, I'm still getting stuck on scanners afterwards, not sure what else there is to do, I think I'll swap to Jessica next, get a venus on her, and then try to use a mirror? maybe that will work but I'm just seeing what sticks right now
Edit2: Didn't work either, now I'm out of ideas
