#File softlocked in black void due to bug

Playing on Switch, typing on mobile, apologies for formatting.

During the Death Mountian first visit, I entered the zombie fight. I wasn't able to kill it in time, so I thought I'd pause and restart. However, the restart UI was slightly different, but I didn't notice it in time, and hit restart right as the zombie covered the screen. I'm not 100% sure, but I think this put me in a battle state while in the overworld, where I couldn't move diagonally and the camera was messed up. I restarted from last save, and this is where I was doomed.

When it reloaded me the camera was still in the same spot where the fight started, but it had moved me to the harpy village, which I could tell from the fact that I could talk to the villagers. The camera would move around inside the cave, but didn't show me. I moved blindly until I hit the transition to the cave, but it just re-centered the camera in the zombie room.

At this point I was worried for the save file, so I pulled up a YouTube video of the cave and blindly navigated to the exit of death mountain, where Sam and Irvine are, and doing so fixed the camera. I still couldn't move diagonally though. I walked to the save point, saved, and restarted the game, hoping that would fix it. When I reopened it, this was my situation.

Included is the save file screen, my inventory, and what the game looks like when I load it. The map is an infinite black void, with a couple red lines that end eventually. I know a patch that'll save my file would take way too long, and my switch isn't modded, so I'll have to start over, but I thought I should report this so it can be fixed. Any advice that may fix it would be awesome though.

Hi! Unfortuantely your game is corrupt and you have to restart your run :(

A patch for this is coming so other players wont encounter it!
Expect the patch to arrive in 1-2 weeks.

Sorry you had to experience this issue!
