I tried if I could get stuck but I can't. if you enter the room, theres a trigger box that will start a short countdown to loading next level which then will open the door automatically.
Yea its a game design choice, I choose to make it a bit dark for the atmosphere. And to use the few lights you can turn on and off around the house. I made sure to keep some lights all over to not make it complete dark. But I will see if its becoming a complaint from more. Thanks for the comments.
