The game broke several times and eventually prevented me from making progress. I asked the tall man for help with the red pipes, then it displayed the dialog for trying to open the heavy hatch on your own. This dialog displayed in several other places as well, eventually trapping me in a tedious circle where no matter who I asked for help, or what object I interacted with, eventually would return the heavy hatch dialog and put me back in the main selection screen.

This has happened every play through, but I assume it is not supposed to happen since it prevents any kind of meaningful progress.
