Blue Prince, Dogubomb’s rogue-like puzzle journey sport, has shortly turn out to be a favourite right here at gamexplore, 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 identified 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 superb trip.
It have to be mentioned that there are many methods through which Mount Holly, a mansion through which the rooms are totally different daily, would not be a very good trip keep. And but, solely a kind of methods has occupied my thoughts from the second I spotted 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 won’t even draw the Toilet on a given “Day” of exploration in Mount Holly. And let’s put aside that you simply won’t even draft it into the home in the event you did, as a result of it’s a lifeless finish with no reward — mechanically, constructing the Toilet is strongly disincentivized.
We’d nonetheless be speaking a few mansion with practically 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, bogs, bathtubs, and showers as my one-bedroom condo.
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 numerous vanities and mirrors the place one would possibly contact up one’s look, however the place it considerations the completely most necessary perform a WC, there may be solely the Toilet.
As I spotted the enormity of Mount Holly’s sanitary deficiencies, I started to think about 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 wouldn’t it be very disruptive, I believe, for Dogubomb to right this.
For one factor, in a house so opulent as to have a bed room, main bedroom, boudoir, and chambers particularly for the lady of the home, there must not less than be a Grasp Toilet. It may have a second door, to supply extra utility than the Toilet. Or there might be an En Suite rest room that might solely be drafted, or would provide some reward for drafting it, subsequent to a bed room.
There may 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 — possibly it may have a random one of many sport’s books in it every time it’s drafted.
However till any of those fixes are applied, I’ll be right here, questioning if the step depend 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.

Why it issuesThe aim of Blue Prince is so simple as it’s paradoxical: Discover the forty sixth room in a house with 45 rooms. Carry a notepad and a pen. Create a display seize folder, since you’ll be spamming F12. And completely discover a good friend to play alongside you, so somebody understands what you’re on about.
