# Room 90: West Tower Bottom

## High-Level Summary

Room 90 is the bottom of the west tower in the game. It serves as a transitional area connecting to rooms 85 (above/north) and 91 (east). The room features a spiral staircase, stone walls, and a dangerous trapdoor area. Players entering from room 85 (the stairs above) must navigate carefully as there are falling hazards that can either result in injury or death depending on positioning.
