Room 49: Ogre's Cottage

The Ogre's Cottage living room where the player must navigate past a sleeping ogre and an aggressive bulldog. This room contains multiple hazards including the ogre (who can be in various states of alertness), a fierce bulldog that chases or guards a bone, and a chicken that can be stolen for points. The room features multiple exits, interactive furniture, and a closet with a secret passage.
