#Rooms in the museum that I think need to be changed

Some rooms in the current FG museum are just there for puzzles / lore and serve 0 purpose for the AI or non puzzle gameplay. I will name some of these rooms and give some suggestions into what I think they could be changed into.

#
  1. Upside down room, honestly this is probably the most useless room in the museum, it only exists for a 1 minute puzzle and then turns into a hallway, this room could serve really well for something like the beta kitchen area, which would also make the museum feel like a more livable space, since right now peterson doesnt seem to have a food source
#
  1. Bottom statue room
    Just like number 1, this room only serves to give you the key, and maybe some lore because of the statue, after that it turns completely useless in gameplay and is only a shortcut for the player to use, this could be turned into a workshop like the AI's seemed to have had in older HN2 versions, like the guests workshop in alpha 1.5, peterson could work on some things here. Or the living room which was scrapped with stairs, but the statue would have to be removed for this.
#
  1. Second floor attic entrance area
    This area doesn't need a complete change, but it could use something like a couch with a TV like beta, just like some other rooms, this area lost all purpose except being a puzzle. Turn it into a living room peterson made himself.
#
  1. Applies to garage and hallway.
    I think instead of the garage having a little crawlspace, it should be removed and a door should be put in the yellow closets location instead, which both the AI and the player can use.

  1. Hallway doors
    I think the 2 hallway doors that connect to the big hall should be removed, they only slow down the ai, I think they should be turned into open frames instead.
#
  1. globe room
    It fits the museum well, but could use some tiny changes like AI tasks, it also turns into one of those rooms you never enter unless you need to do the puzzle, maybe add a desk for mr peterson, or let him interact with his theory board?

Could just hang that up somewhere

wraith kraken
#

Eh i like the upside down room Ngl

#

But i do wish a kitchen would fit

#

Somewhere

#

I agree with the idea of the feedback but i like some of the current rooms i honestly wish the museum was bigger lol

fringe summit
#

it's just that most of them serve 0 gameplay purpose except being a 1 minuze puzzle or something

#

You go in, do a puzzle and never return

#

maybe get a picture that tells you something about the lore

#

but thats it

fringe summit
#

I feel like living room fits best there

#

Not the attic but

#

where the entrance to attic is

feral island
#

i mean the bottom statue room was originally a living room

#

it also had a staircase

#

Hmm yeah it would work well as a living room

#

but would need extreme changes to work

#

so it was appereantly gonna be similar to

#

gray manor living room

wraith kraken
#

I like the room though but i also like the idea of it being a living room

#

Ahhhhh

feral island
fringe summit
#

with staircase and stuff

oak mulch

#

hm yeah

oak mulch
#

But they closed it...

fringe summit
#

It's pretty visible they prioritized lore over gameplay

#

for the museum

#

everything has lore but hurts the gameplay in the process

feral island
#

they scrapped more ways to move around the house... over a statue

#

🔥

wraith kraken
#

Now that i Think about it

#

But i still want the statue room

fringe summit
#

I added the living room to the bottom statue room

oak mulch
#

Upside down room is great, but it could have an upside down smeg fridge with food in it

fringe summit
#

it's basically a flat ground with 2 puzzle things

feral island
wraith kraken
#

However when you Think About it

feral island
#

kitchen was peak

wraith kraken
#

Why would an abandoned museum

#

Have a kitchen with food in it

fringe summit
#

it doesnt have to be high quality

feral island
oak mulch
#

In beta, it was Gerdas shop

fringe summit
#

just moved a fridge into it or something

#

peterson rn doesnt have anywhere he would get food from

#

it makes no sense

wraith kraken
#

He can have a can of food in the garage or something

#

Instead

Pork

feral island
#

its a wooden pig head

oak mulch
#

It has pork in the fridge

fringe summit
#

with fur

oak mulch
#

It's not wooden

fringe summit
#

yummm

feral island
wraith kraken
#

I would like if they found a balance between gameplay and lore

fringe summit
wraith kraken
#

Yeah

fringe summit
#

then put lore into the good gameplay areas

#

The statue rn is just

#

the oppossite

oak mulch
#

I have to agree

fringe summit
#

2 rooms completely ruined by a giant statue

#

just so they can have some lore

wraith kraken
#

I mean its cool tbf

feral island
feral island
wraith kraken
#

Thats true

oak mulch
#

Tho I really liked the statue reveal in the end, I thought it was clever, the statue just blocks a lot of rooms which had great potential

fringe summit
#

My main issue is simply that most rooms only serve puzzle purpose or lore

#

no ai tasks

#

no logical area mr peterson would need for a routine

oak mulch
#

The bedroom....

fringe summit
#

I said most not all

oak mulch
#

Also, isn't it weird that book room has cogs and cog room has books

feral island
wraith kraken
#

Or they Changed locations for the puzzles

#

Last minute

fringe summit
#

I actually really want the scrapped living room area now

#

I didn't know about it

feral island
wraith kraken
#

I miss when museum was planned to have a guest statue

feral island
fringe summit
#

Oh yeah museum could also have darker lighting like deep dive

#

it feels pretty bright rn

wraith kraken
#

Yeah agreed

feral island
#

oh yeah an early blockout lighting version was dark

#

it looked pretty nice

wraith kraken
fringe summit
#

This is a personal opinion but

#

I think the main hall first floor needs some change aswell

#

it has too many glass showcases

#

More covered things and boxes

feral island
#

i hate that the museum is so open

fringe summit
#

how every room has an easy exit

#

outside

feral island
#

yes

fringe summit
#

same

wraith kraken
#

Oh yeah i agree

fringe summit
#

this is just rambling now

feral island
#

also the majority just being a massive empty space

wraith kraken
#

One door Should be removed

#

At least

fringe summit
#

but

#

I liked the way you got into museum in beta more

feral island
fringe summit
#

it felt like you're breaking into an abandoned place

#

now you just have a large front double door

feral island
#

and makes it so open and boring

fringe summit
#

I like the fireplace room concept but not the execution

feral island
#

it makes the museum feel small

fringe summit
#

I liked it in deep dive

#

with lots of hiding spots in the back with covered things and boxes

feral island
fringe summit
#

but now it's just glass showcase all over the place

feral island
fringe summit
wraith kraken
#

Placeholder

#

Guest statue

feral island
#

doesnt it use animations

fringe summit
#

a guest like showcase puppet

oak mulch
feral island
#

it added tension

oak mulch
#

He could literally come to you by the time you open it

feral island
#

thats why you have to escape him first

#

of course you couldnt open it while your being chased

wraith kraken
#

Btw

feral island
#

yeah

fringe summit
#

My opinion is that deep dive was the perfect museum, but that's personal opinion, I would prefer the darker lighting and more of a museum feel, with covered furniture etc

#

Current museum feels like a museum if it was all about cult stuff etc
