no the game has an amazing replay option, you just click on the part of a ch. thats before the soup, deal with it, save and quit, and then you press continue and go from the furthest point you made it to, but now with soup thing done.
The replay option is amazing, and I have already used it to accomplish other tasks I've failed. It is this specific mission that is the issue. I completed the soup objective in Prologue 5... it's just that when I attempt to replay prologue 6, I continue to have the soup objective even though I already completed it in the previous prologue. Since there is no soup to interact with, because it was only interactable in prologue 5, I am unable to actually receive the next prompted objective in the story, because it has the soup as unflagged, even though I can confirm I have completed it previously in the first run and multiple replay attempts
For "lost item" you need to go to your apartment before you go into the warehouse with Boon and Samantha. Still trying to figure out "breaking news"
For "breaking news" I think you need to watch the tv in the bar during the flashback
