I can not advance through the game.
I received the letter from the girls and was directed to go to Photo Dojo to get a passport photo, then "head north" to get the letter translated. I went to photo dojo, fought the pedophole, and received my passport photo.
Whether I try to enter the forest to the east of Kenny's house or try to "head North" through the farm, all of the entryways are still blocked by rats.
I purchased SP: Stick of Truth throught the Playstation Store on a PS3 on the game's release date.
After installation, I installed a suggested update. I did not start playing until after the update.
Thanks.
