Room 58: Tower Organ Room

This is the interior of a dusty tower containing a large pipe organ. The room features spiral stairs descending downward, a bench in front of the organ, and a hidden drawer within the organ that contains a skeleton key. Players can sit at the organ and play it using sheet music, which triggers a special event that reveals the hidden drawer. There is also a hole in the floor that leads to the staircase below (Room 61), and players can fall through the floor if they step on a weak area.

Look Description

"A dusty, old pipe organ sits in the center of the tower room."
