I’ve been consumed by Blue Prince’s true mystery: Where the hell are you supposed to pee?

Blue Prince, Dogubomb’s rogue-like puzzle journey recreation, has rapidly change into a favourite right here at epicgamejourney, and for good purpose. And it ought to come as no shock that I’m additionally hip deep within the unusual mansion of Herbert S. Sinclair, drafting rooms, hoarding keys, and bartering cash.

I’m a recognized simp for the Sequence of Freaky Li’l Rooms Exploration style, and the combo of a weekend-long puzzle room through a lavishly furnished Airbnb — not not like Blue Prince’s Mount Holly Property — would truthfully be my excellent trip.

It should be mentioned that there are many methods during which Mount Holly, a mansion during which the rooms are totally different day by day, would not be a superb trip keep. And but, solely a kind of methods has occupied my thoughts from the second I noticed it, and is with me with each draft and draw.

Mount Holly is a 46-room home with just one small bathroom.

Let’s put aside for a second that you simply may not even draw the Toilet on a given “Day” of exploration in Mount Holly. And let’s put aside that you simply may not even draft it into the home if you happen to did, as a result of it’s a useless finish with no reward — mechanically, constructing the Toilet is strongly disincentivized.

We’d nonetheless be speaking a few mansion with almost 50 rooms, together with quarters for a employees of about half a dozen, and even some workspaces for professionals who don’t remain within the mansion itself. And but it has the identical variety of bogs, bathrooms, bathtubs, and showers as my one-bedroom house.

The options don’t bear speaking about, however let’s contemplate some anyway: The Pool? Gross. The Sauna? Merely not the identical. There’s a Locker Room, however it has no showers. There are numerous rooms with varied vanities and mirrors the place one would possibly contact up one’s look, however the place it issues the completely most vital operate a WC, there may be solely the Toilet.

As I noticed the enormity of Mount Holly’s sanitary deficiencies, I started to contemplate the logistics of a home this huge and well-staffed having just one rest room. With rising horror, the mansion’s copious gardens loomed in my thoughts. Has everybody been relieving themselves over the facet of the inexperienced tiles? Is that this why these rooms have so many mounds of freshly turned earth?

It’s not too late, nor would it not be very disruptive, I feel, for Dogubomb to right this.

For one factor, in a house so opulent as to have a bed room, master suite, boudoir, and chambers particularly for the girl of the home, there must at the least be a Grasp Toilet. It might have a second door, to supply extra utility than the Toilet. Or there may very well be an En Suite lavatory that would solely be drafted, or would supply some reward for drafting it, subsequent to a bed room.

There might even be an Outhouse, whether or not as a tile or a freestanding construction on the Grounds! I’m much less certain what utility that must the sport — perhaps it might have a random one of many recreation’s books in it every time it’s drafted.

However till any of those fixes are carried out, I’ll be right here, questioning if the step rely is de facto only a measure of how lengthy till Simon, Blue Prince’s 14-year-old protagonist, completely has to exit within the woods to pee.
