Storage Room Boxes and Wardrobe Guide
You press F twice in storage, then discover you checked the boxes both times and never checked the wardrobe. These two hiding places are close together, so this room is a good place to slow down and read the names. Storage is downstairs at the lower right. Once you learn the boxes, wardrobe, and the decorative box nearer the corridor, you can clear it confidently or choose a nearby second spot during hiding preparation.
Identify the two real targets
Enter from the corridor on the left or come down from the kitchen through the gap between the rooms. The boxes you can use sit toward the upper-right part of storage, and the wardrobe is farther down the same side. They are close enough to make this a good practice room for reading prompts. Begin with whichever is easier to reach from your entrance, then make a definite move toward the other one.
Because the two places are close together, standing between them can leave you ready to check the one you did not intend. Read the name, press F once, then move closer to the second piece of furniture. Wait for the prompt to change before pressing again. If you keep checking the boxes, another F press from the same place is unlikely to solve the problem. A small movement toward the wardrobe is the useful next step.
Clear both spots as a seeker
For a search route arriving from the kitchen, checking boxes first and wardrobe second is a natural sequence. Arriving from the corridor may make the reverse order feel easier. Either is valid if you confirm both interactions. After the first check, move enough to make the prompt name the remaining target before pressing F again. Repeating F without moving may simply recheck the first spot.
A found character does not prove the other storage spot is empty. With multiple hiders, both can be occupied in the same round because they are distinct entries in the hiding pool. The visual checkmarks and the found total help you track progress. Once both storage places are checked, this room is complete. There is no third search at the decorative box closer to the corridor.
Leave a hidden position deliberately
As a hider, choose either named storage spot and enter with F. Neither has a special protection bonus. What matters for a later move is where you will step out: beside the boxes or beside the wardrobe. Before leaving, look at the clear floor leading toward the corridor or kitchen. Knowing your first few steps makes a relocation calmer than stepping out first and only then deciding where you want to go.
Do not expect one F press to jump directly from the boxes into the wardrobe. The first press leaves your current spot. You must then stand in range of the desired approach, confirm its prompt, and press F again. Depending on your position, the nearest spot may still be the one you just left. This is another reason to read the displayed target instead of relying on rapid repeated presses.
Judge the room's location realistically
The storage room lies near the lower corridor and its transport pads, but the wall and doorway still separate your path from those pads. You cannot walk straight through the storage wall to reach the elevator. Use the corridor opening, then move toward the elevator pad or stairs. Wait for the elevator prompt before pressing F so that you know you are ready to travel.
For a practical drill, start a seeker round with several hiders and make storage your first room. Check both spots while saying their names aloud or noting them on a small checklist. Then leave toward the kitchen without checking the decorative box. In a hiding round, practice the boxes-to-wardrobe transition during preparation, when seekers have not started searching. Mastering this nearby pair builds accurate interaction habits, while the active-search risk still depends on where the seekers are and which checks they finish.
