A few days ago I was playing The Outdoors with another person. After some rooms green lightning finally flashed and my teammate claimed the only closet near, other ones were at the very beginning of the room, too far to go for them, so I entered the next room and navigated to the next closet. But suddenly Mandrake from the other side of this new room jumped out, I prioritised putting it back before Surge started coming, but because of big length of Outdoors rooms I haven’t succeeded: coming back was too late, and Surge killed me while I was tryna find the next hiding spot. Before you say, no, there were no other closets and no houses around at all, I’ve tried my best. No photo.

So, what are your thoughts on this absurd situation? Just wanted to share it.

If you think about it, to beat Doors Verse you have to find another skeleton key after the infirmary or in the infirmary, of course it spawns often enough, but it’s still not guaranteed. Guess what, I once searched for ONE dam lockpick 60 doors straight, and I did not found it, so considering skeleton key as one of the rarest items, what are the chances then? I’m telling you straight, my Doors Verse challenge could go Down The Drain (haha badge reference) now just because RNG, and it’s not cool in any way: 4 HOURS dude, 4 HOURS.

Hey, tell me your thoughts, like right now, is challenge gone luck-based now, after the Outdoors, or just harder (though spendin’ 2 and a half hours for nothing is not fun, dude), or any tips like a speedrunner tricks for guaranteed skeleton key, maybe? Does this exist at least?
