@Balthasar, I can't use the microdrone or the netframe. I have both items hotkeyed, but neither can be used. There's no error message. Just, pressing the key does not cause them to happen.
That's extremely weird, it was tested and dozens of players passed through that area without a problem.
I'm assuming you mean the puzzle after you talk to Luna, follow her to the repair shop, and go back, right?
EDIT: Here's a video of how to solve this puzzle

EDIT: Sorry for accidental double post, I thought I was responding to a new comment.
Use the netframe to unlock it, then collect the item using the Micro Drone.

-How on earth do you unlock the car? I can't use items, and I've talked to everyone as both Arris and Luna. Both the exits to the west and the south are plot-locked. Is there something I'm missing, or is this a bug?

I don't remember the number 14, the closest thing would be 12(as for mom died 12 years ago)
About how things are narrated in the game, there's an explanation for that later, I don't want to give spoilers, but what I can say about Arris and Frankie is that Arris wasn't aware of these things herself. So I don't find it fair to let the player know what they are choosing.
As you may discover later in game with the Cartridge Locked Choices, choices are all about Arris' mindset and not the player "choosing" directly, the only thing the player can do to choose in a different way with different views is to make Arris develop her character differently, which is impossible so early in the game.

Vindictive Drive Review
Thank you so much for taking your time to review the game, and what a surprise! You gave me lots of tips and advice to improve this game after you played the Early Access version, and I feel it can still give more.

Alright, firing up my new copy.
I'll post any feedback/bugs/impressions here (unless you'd rather I PM'd it to you, Balthasar?), and when I've cleared the game, I'll put a review up on Steam.
Hello Kumada, thank you very much for playing and taking your time to share your thoughts with me. It is fine like this, maybe you could just hide them though, just in case someone reads a possible spoiler(if any).
There will be a new update of this game once the translations are finished, and just like I did with the critics to the previous builds, I will absolutely have your thoughts in mind to fix certain things, so thank you very much for helping me improve the game even more.
As for some of the points here, it is impossible to leave the bar before the bank raid without ammo, if you try it you're stopped and instructions pop up, however if the player spends all the money in other things(just after getting warnings about ammo) there's a chance of them getting stuck in the bar, temporarily, since they can re sell whatever they bought and that scenario sounds very rare, however I'll just add some ammo by default.
Luna's pistol should be harder to use(for some) because it has a small cooldown between shots(I think 25 frames against 5 frames for the other pistols)
Arris is 22 years old.
My intention with "don't kill him" was to show that attempting to show mercy going against Arris' character will only end with a sadistic act unless she developed certain level of humanity, which is impossible so early in the game, she lets him live after all.
I made one tile shots to always fail for players using pistol simply to make a bit clearer that Arris kind of sucks with these in the first part of the game, I could reduce her accuracy instead, though.
The AP180(and also the Netframe) have poor range, the direction you're facing doesn't really change this.
Thank you very much, I will have your thoughts in mind for the last build(especially those about the quality of certain maps)
