Is that ladder how you enter and never exit again?

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

That's how to get in and out of the bathroom pit. It's just easier to clean up if the ~~victim~~ guest uses the toilet.

How else is the creature supposed to go to the potty?

[–] Omer_Ash@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

You can exit if you want, just make sure not to wake up anything in the process ;)

Nights can be horrifying, but rent's free, so can't really complain.

I'll never question randomly placed props in games again.

The propane tank is only there as an easy means of defeating the monster that breaks through the wall nearby. That's smart game design right there.

That propane tank really adds to the scene.

You should visit a normal bathroom and take notes

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Was that propane tank in a war?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

Holy shit, that’s what that thing is.

Looks like a room in Shadowgate.

Imagine shitting in there then something caresses your leg.

At least you'd get a good 'clear out'...

[–] paequ2@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago

Can't remember is this before or after you fight the BOW Yawn?

The quality of the photo makes me think this was a photo taken near the elephant's foot or something.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago

It looks like a snuff movie has taken place or will take place.

The most comfortable bathroom on my relatives house
