Expected Behavior

Each encounter in the haunted mansion poses a danger to the player, but if they choose the correct action, they can find the silver key.

Actual Behavior

The alien either gives you a gold key that doesn't do anything bad if you try to use it, or just leaves when you don't accept the key.

Steps to Reproduce Issue

  1. Begin game
  2. Search the rooms until you get the alien encounter
  3. Accept the key and use it, observing there's no consequence for using the wrong key.
  4. Search the rooms until you get the alien encounter again.
  5. Refuse the key and note that there's no consequence for this action.

Notes

The fake key trick is a good idea for a unique fail state that happens outside of an encounter. Maybe if you try to unlock the cage, the roof comes off and everyone's abducted by a UFO? The logic being that the key is like a GPS signal for the UFO to lock onto and the aliens were waiting until you met up with the rest of the humans so they could get you all at once. If this is the case though, the player should be given the choice whether to use the silver or gold key so a fail state isn't forced by the game.

@ProjectErostribe is our Haunted House story editor. Myles should we consider adding a fail action to the alien event?

@cgreen-bitwise We have chosen to reject this enhancement due to that we intended the alien encounter to not be a danger, but a redirection event for the player.
