How does one progress the infested science tower? all i get is a message that the elevator doors are open and its dark inside.
Is there a way to edit the savefile to roll this event back with out having to restart
Weird. You're supposed to get into the elevator at the top, and fight a boss battle in there. If that's not triggering, then something is screwed up with your save file. If you have RPG maker mv, you can try opening up the game and figuring out what switches you need to reset. But otherwise, you'll have to do a NG+ to fix it, unfortunately.
