Room 94: Unicorn Stable

This is the interior of Lolotte's stable where a magnificent wild unicorn is imprisoned. The room features two stable gates and contains the unicorn, which can be freed by opening the gate. When the unicorn is present, players can interact with it through various commands. Opening the gate while the unicorn is imprisoned triggers a cutscene where the unicorn escapes to freedom, rewarding the player with score points.
