I returned to my game world

Couldn't find a sword but interesting up until that.

got past the soft lock with the arcade machine. go to the left, crouch and you can pick up. but then the lighter dissapeared when i placed it down.

Thanks for all your comments! I was experimenting with creating the arcade machines and I hope you have fun playing with those too. If we can't win the prizes from the arcade machines then in a sense indeed we can't get the "success" ending. However, the map is designed such that there is a second chance (even if we fail to win the prizes) - there is a second ending if we manage to solve the code of the box on the left side of the reception counter.

Too bad to be stuck because we can't restart the machine. The room was great so far despite some bugs.

Map is buggy, possibly able to soft lock map also

As much as I love the aesthetics of the room, I have to agree that getting soft-locked from failing the VIP-coin puzzles is not a great feeling.

Excellent room. Fun and original.

no hints, failing a puzzle literally bricks room, 1/5 stars

Nice setting and fun puzzles! Just so I understand though, if you fail one of the VIP-coin puzzles, do you have to restart the entire level or is there a way to try again?
