I tried to replicate it but wasn't able to. Could you be very specific on the conditions you had while it happened? At what stage where you of Apollonia's revenge quest? and when you got stuck when entering the kitchen, did you see a cutscene and then couldnt move anymore? If so, what cutscene?

In "Say hello to my little friend" the last thing I completed was "Deliver the envelope to the "guy with the bad fashion sense" at the main floor". I still needed to do "Return to Chef Apollonia and tell her everything". If I go to lab B-2 to complete "Dairy quest", I'm sent to Apollonia's main hallway. Entering Quality control soft locks the game. no cutscene is played. Violet is moving between dishes. Apollonia is in a new weight stage. I cannot move or open the menu. I've been able to repeat this glitch.

Thank you for the detailed report! I found the cause, and it should be fixed now.
Download the game again and transfer your saves (Copy the saves folder from the old version to the new one) and you won't lose any progress.
