It does happen mid game, and it sucks allooot when you have many items and you just get stuck without being able to do anything, with that being said, sadly it also happens if I have no items or 1 - 2 items max, since I am mostly exploring.
To describe the problem camera moves left and right, up and down, flash light and left click scan doesn't appear, you can open inventory ( I think, will play more and see once I get it again.) Basically you are bugged on the ground and well you have to wait for girls to find you to game over you so you can start anew run. It mostly occurs from what I've noticed when moving with ctrl.
