Room 51: Ogre's Closet

This room is the interior of the ogre's small closet. The room features a closet door with a keyhole mechanism that triggers a complex animation sequence involving the ogre and his wife in the adjacent kitchen. Players can examine the keyhole, open the closet door to escape to the kitchen (Room 49), or attempt to use the keyhole with or without the magic hen to witness the ogres' routine.

Look Description

"You have found yourself inside the ogres' small closet. For a closet, it's surprisingly empty. You notice a large keyhole under the doorknob of the closet door."
