Understand Decoy Mechanics

Not every switch or button-like block opens the door. Some rooms contain multiple interactable objects, but only one is the correct trigger. Right-clicking a decoy does nothing—no sound, no door opening, no feedback. This is intentional; decoys test your observation and persistence.

Look for Visual Differences

Examine switches carefully for subtle distinctions:

  • Color or texture variation – The real switch may have a slightly different appearance
  • Positioning – Real switches often sit in less obvious spots than decoys
  • Material type – One switch might be stone while decoys are wood, or vice versa

Test Methodically

When you find multiple switch-like objects, right-click each one in sequence. Watch for the door to open or listen for activation sounds. Keep track of which switches you've tested to avoid rechecking.

Trust Your Instincts

If a switch seems too easy to find or sits in an obvious location, it's likely a decoy. The real switch typically requires closer inspection or is hidden in an unintuitive spot. Continue searching even after finding an easy candidate.
