I can't seem to move from that spot since Joey is blocking my path, I think it was because I walked back down the stairway and came back up
(This is just after Ryke was cut in half)

I uploaded a pic of where I am

Left clicking or right clicking on the three exits or anywhere else on the screen doesn't let me move, I can only go back down to the other room

i have no other saves and would prefer not to restart

Normally Joey should move around, so he's never going to block your way forever. Is he still in the same place when you go back to the furnace room and return from there? And did you try to talk to him (it might help)?

If you answer both questions with yes, I fear it is a bug and You have to start from the beginning again.

I've encountered situations where another character will get in Robert's path. Normally, the situation will resolve itself in a minute or two when the other character moves out of the way. Like PaterAlf said, talking may help since it moves both characters in a set position.

That being said, restarting at this point isn't so bad since you are just scratching the surface as far as in-game progress is concerned. Generally, if the game allows it, you should have least another extra save for backup. I had to learn it the hard way.

Nothing seemed to work, going back to the furnace room, talking to Joey or waiting for him to move, but he didn't
so I just restarted
