it looks like im able to move right but i just cant

Do you remember if you walked into that tile just as Menderbot "turned off"?

i remember talking to it, then trying to find a way to free him. i walked around the house for a bit and then i figured there could be something outside of the house, so i went there, walked on that tile, and niko said that they can't just leave. and thats where i am right now

Unfortunate.
Trigger the dialogue where Niko says you can't just leave, and do not close it
Open task manager, and force close the game

Where does that land you?

still stuck in that same place

btw im running the game on proton because i have ubuntu installed, i used system monitor to kill the proton process, if that makes any difference.

here's the savefile, perhaps it can come in handy

Alright, in your equivalent of `%appdata%` should be a folder named OSFM
The files `save.dat` and `p-settings.dat` are the real save.

There should also be a folder in it named `save_backups`
Try replacing the `save.dat` and `p-settings.dat` with one of the backups from there
The lower the number suffix the newer the backup is.
Try taking like 2 or 3.

I encountered a similar bug just now. I'm in a wall. For me it has something to do with mouse movement and entering a cutscene. For whatever reason going to options reduces fps. Leaving the house at the start of the game is when it broke for me. Then at some point I tried to use mouse movement anyway while transitioning from one room to another, and that's when I got softlocked. So transitions is what broke it. For whatever reason transitions mess with the game for a bit. I can't solve it, but I can give you an understanding as to how it works, so maybe you can avoid it. Not sure what you did. Just trying to help.
