Hi @Hopper - so glad to hear you had fun playing! 😊 All the metal plate numbers are in the ornate box in the butterfly room , except for number 0, which you get from the ballerina puzzle .

Hi @Jagger - thanks so much for playing the room and for your kind words! 😊 I couldn’t recreate the bug you mentioned, so it seems like an unlucky glitch sorry about that. Once Chapter Three is out, you’ll finally learn the truth about the Evil Nanny .

Hi, I played this map on coop and it was fun, but we couldn't finish because we couldn't find numbers 2 and 5 for the door. Where are they supposed to be?

Hello. Found a small bug. In the final chapter, in the corridor with the ballerinas, if you leave the corridor before finishing the puzzle (I set the ballerina images, but did not return to the box to solve the lights), you cannot turn back and solve the puzzle. You get stuck in front of the last door. Unfortunately I couldn't see the ending due to this :(. I was really curious to see if the Evil Nanny was really evil after all :(. But a beautiful level you've created here. Congrats!

Hi @粉粉猪宝贝 – thank you so much for your lovely words! 😊
I poured a lot of love into creating the room, so it truly means the world to me to hear that you and your friends enjoyed it.
Hope you’ll have just as much fun with the other rooms too – and thanks again for your kind feedback! 💛

Hi @Allenyang0226 – there’s a full in-game walkthrough available in the room. 😊 Just press H while playing the room, and the hints/walkthrough will pop up.

where is the walkthru guys?

Wonderful masterpiece!!! Best one I've ever played. I'll finish all your maps~ Me and my friends were surprised at all the excellent details in this map, and they are so beautiful. Looking forward to your new maps!

@Chikara – just a few :) it’s mostly a mysterious atmosphere.

Are there any jump scares?

@MxAstro - only very little. :) It’s more about atmosphere and mystery. :)

Are there any jumpscares in this map?

Hi @codijayrobot - thanks for clarifying! :) I’ve now made some changes to custom models and lighting in the ballerina area that should prevent lag in multiplayer. :)

@SuperFriiz
We were both in the Ballerina Puzzle Area, and not in the Downstairs Area.

@codijayrobot & @ace4545 - Thanks so much for sticking with it and for the kind words!
I’m really glad you were able to finish the room. ☺️

In multiplayer, both the upstairs and downstairs sections are kept loaded, but only rendered when a player is present (using visibility activators). So if you’re in different sections, it may strain performance - or cause issues if those activators aren’t working properly on your setup.

I’m considering a design change: possibly moving the number plate box upstairs and closing off the downstairs section entirely during that part of the room to avoid potential lag.

That said, I haven’t personally experienced lag in the ballerina area in multiplayer, whether hosting or joining. ☺️

Thanks again for all your feedback and your kind words about the series so far - it really means a lot! 😊

@SuperFriiz
We were able to finish the map, and as per the last map, it was amazing.

I still would like to note however, that during the Ballerina Puzzle Area, The game kept trying to crash, but would eventually try to crash, then eventually recover. It took about 10 extra minutes in that area to complete the map due to that problem.

Finally was able to finish the map, Ballerina puzzle still causing issues. but everything worked perfectly otherwise.

Patch Update
I’ve just posted a new patch that should prevent the strange glitch where starting the room with the recap from Chapter One in rare cases would block progression into the actual escape room section.
I’ve also looked into potential lag issues in one area during multiplayer and made some changes that should help improve performance. 🙂

Thanks for clarifying, @codijayrobot. :)

@SuperFriiz
We were playing the latest patch, and the ballerina puzzle was causing the problems listed below.

Thanks a million for your kind words, KidBergmanJapan – really happy to hear you had a fun time playing the room! :)

Hi @ace4545 and @codijayrobot – thanks so much for the videos and detailed feedback! 😊

Super happy to hear that switching who hosted the game solved the visibility issues and that everything now shows correctly. 😊

About video 1: I noticed the piano melody plays twice, which is definitely odd. The ghost visibility is triggered after the melody plays, so it’s strange that it doesn’t activate correctly in your case.

Video 2: I assume this is where Player 2 could see the dev test buttons – one of those removes the nanny’s room, so that explains the sudden disappearance. 😊

Video 3: That animation running in reverse for Player 2 is super weird. I can’t explain why that would happen.

Lastly, for the ballerina hallway: I’ve found the cause (a custom model) and have fixed it in the latest patch. That section should now run much more smoothly. 🙌

Part 2:
When we switched who was the host, it fixed a lot of the problems, which was weird since the original host had better hardware, and internet than the 2nd player, but we did find another problem with the recap which can be seen in this Video [medal.tv] where the ghost was not spawning correctly for the 2nd player.

We also kept experiencing the a repeat problem when we got to the Ballerina Puzzle where Escape Simulator would basically put the host into an infinite spiral of trying to reconnect to the session, and then crash both player's games.

@SuperFriiz

Part 1:
The latest patch seems to have caused a weird problem with the recap as you can see in this Video [medal.tv] where the Ghost just doesn't spawn, and the map can't continue. This can be worked around however by spam restarting the map.

After messing around with the same person being the host, we found a button (Not pressed by me) that straight up removed the majority of the map as seen in this Video [medal.tv] which was kind of funny.

When I switched to host, things did disappear and work correctly, up until the ballerina hallway. At that point both myself and Codi have crashed on five different moments. Otherwise things worked properly.

I also noticed from the video that there’s quite a bit of lag already in the lobby and the round hallway – that shouldn’t be the case at all.

I’ve reached out to the community to ask if anyone else has experienced this issue. In the meantime, could you try adjusting the following graphics settings before loading the room?

• Textures → Half
• Custom Textures Compression → Fast (Low Quality)
• Community Room Lighting → High Quality

Hopefully we’ll get to the bottom of this. 😊

Hi @ace4545 – thanks so much for sharing the video and screenshot. That really helps!

It definitely looks like all the Visibility Activators set to "Disable → Active on Start" are being ignored entirely for you as Player 2. And likewise, any visibility changes triggered by "Disable" activators don’t seem to apply for you either. Really strange behavior.

If you host the game instead, do you then see everything working correctly, and does codijayrobot become the one experiencing the issue?

Again no anger on you my friend, the map itself is amazing, but bugged.

Hey Superfriiz, this is what Codi and I mean btw.

Really awesome room, good work dude!

@codijayrobot – thanks for clarifying! :) Did you happen to try switching who’s hosting the game? :)
And have you tried unsubscribing and then re-subscribing to the room to force the latest version to download?
I tested it again with a friend, and it all worked smoothly on our end - so I really hope it’ll run fine for you too now. Let me know how it goes! :)

@SuperFriiz The only problem we ever had with the lobby was the teleportation bug, every other problem was past the lobby.

Hey all! :)
I’ve located the issue causing lag for some players in the upstairs hallway (ballerina puzzle) .
It was due to a custom 3D model, which has now been optimized in Blender. This should result in noticeably smoother gameplay in that section.

@codijayrobot & @ace4545 – thanks so much for testing again! 😊
I just tested the room again on my end in multiplayer, and everything seems to be working as intended – all players are properly teleported from the lobby, and visibility is synced.
Did both of you see the game lobby when loading in? And have you tried switching who’s hosting the session?
From what you describe, it actually sounds like one of you might still have the very first version of the room – where only one player was teleported, which could explain the visibility and interaction issues you’re seeing.
Could you try this: Unsubscribe from the room, restart Escape Simulator, and then re-subscribe to the room to ensure you have the latest version. 😊
Fingers crossed this solved the issue! 😊

@SuperFriiz The problems don't seem to be fixed. The 2nd Player can still see, and pickup Map Objects that are not visible to the host, such as all the random minus keys, carousel key, ect. They also do not see the objects as the host does, so they can grab things inside of locked cabinets, or magically grab the key for locked objects as keys appear in the locks for the 2nd player. Furthermore, The 2nd Player can still not enter the room if you choose to replay the intro as there is a invisible wall for them. Frame rate for the 2nd player also has not improved.

Hey, again super great map series. Unfortunately, the issues Codijayrobot mentioned were not fixed, and yes it is the latest version thanks to steam workshop downloads. Not a slight on you Superfriiz, because the maps so far are amazing and this one is super detailed, but still broken. This time I was able to pick up the UV lamp in the bedroom that I was not able to pick up last time. I was second player again on the map and could still see the dev options that shouldn't be visible.

@reeeeeeeeeeeeeem – thanks so much for the lovely update! 😊
I’m really glad to hear you were able to complete the room and had a fun time playing. That means a lot – thanks again for sticking with it!

@StellaMerryFox – thanks so much for the update! 😊
I’ve made a few small changes that should help reduce performance drops, especially during that part of the room. Hopefully it’ll run more smoothly now!

Hi @codijayrobot and @ace4545 – I’ve just pushed a patch update that should resolve the multiplayer-related visibility issues you mentioned. I’ve replaced the toggle visibility activators with dedicated enable/disable pairs, which should fix the synchronization problems in multiplayer, so both players now see the same areas at the same time.
Hope you’ll give it another try (please make sure both players have the latest version of the room)! 😊
And @codijayrobot – thanks so much for the kind words! I’m really happy to hear you’re enjoying the Evil Nanny series. 😊

When playing in Multiplayer, The map is really scuffed. If you choose to replay the intro, The 2nd player cannot enter through the doorway. The 2nd player can see objects that were never meant to be seen such as all of the minus keys on the floor (Can sometimes be seen by the host as well.) The 2nd player can sometimes just walk through walls, and even see all the map objects before even getting to that part of the map. Furthermore the frame rate for 2nd player is pretty bad, while the host is perfectly fine. (This was reversed on the previous map where the host kept crashing, and having performance problems unless they stared at the floor.)

Overall, It's an amazing series, and I can't wait to complete the room with my friend.

Major Bug, a player 2 cannot see the map and can interact with stuff that should not be visible

Hey again! My bf and I were able to complete the room and had a great time doing it! Thank you for fixing the bug, looking forward to chapter 3! :)

@SuperFriiz we were both doing the ballerina puzzle at the time. I think it has something to do with the lights - having them on seems to cause a performance drop.

@UncleMazz, thanks so much for your super kind words - it really means the world to me that you liked it! :)

@StellaMerryFox, thanks so much for playing - I’m really glad to hear you both had a fun time!
I’m so sorry to hear you got disconnected right near the end - that must’ve been frustrating.

Just to help me track down what happened: do you remember if it occurred while you were in separate areas - for example, one of you downstairs while the other was doing the ballerina painting puzzle upstairs? If so, the game tries to render both sections simultaneously in multiplayer, which can sometimes cause slight lag.

When both players are in the same area, the other section is hidden to help reduce lag. I tested this in multiplayer on my end and didn’t experience the game closing, but I’ll definitely look into optimizing things further - and I really appreciate the heads-up!

Thanks again for your kind words and for playing! :)

My boyfriend and I were unable to finish this one. At the part where you have to change the ballerina paintings, it got so laggy that we were both disconnected from the game. We both have high-end PCs and no issues running heavier games so it's likely an optimisation issue (We both run medium settings on Escape Simulator as well). Otherwise, it's a great map and we had fun while it lasted!

Another amazing room!! Can´t wait for the final part :-)

Hi reeeeeeeeeeeeeem! :)
Thanks so much for letting me know about this - that was super super helpful! And I’m really glad to hear that you and your bf enjoy my rooms! <3

I’ve just patched an update that fixes the issue where only one player could load into the room in multiplayer. Please try again and let me know if everything works as expected now. Thanks again for your kind words! :)

Hey! There's a little bit of a bug that doesn't let more than 1 player load into the room, so it's impossible to play this as a co-op experience :) My bf and I love playing your rooms, pls let me know if this can be fixed! thank you <3
