Exit Door

An exit door is a physical barrier, often in the form of a door, that separates the safe area from the investigation area of any given map. 
== Mechanics ==
Each map will have at least one exit door, with the van located in a way that allows the player to walk directly to it. Some maps contain more than one exit door, which may or may not be directly accessible from the van. In Maple Lodge Campsite and Camp Woodwind, the exit door is a set of wooden gates as opposed to a building door. 
The main door key must first be obtained to unlock the door. When any exit door is opened for the first time, the setup phase will begin and the ghost will "activate". As soon as a player steps inside the investigation area, their sanity will become affected. 
When a ghost begins to hunt, all exit doors will automatically close and become locked, indicated with a distinctive locking sound followed by a door slam sound, trapping players inside the investigation area. An invisible barrier will also form at the exit door. They will remain locked until the hunt ends, after which they will unlock automatically, but remain closed. Closed exit doors do not make any sound when they lock. 
The ghost may close (but not lock) exit doors during ghost events if the player who "activated" the event is in a room with the door. The Yurei can also close the door without a ghost event or hunt by using its ability. Otherwise, ghosts cannot interact with exit doors normally.
==Trivia==
* Items, as well as equipment, can be thrown through doors at any time, even while closed or locked.
* If the player glitches into the investigation area without unlocking the exit door for the first time, the ghost will remain inactive, and will not hunt, perform ghost events, or provide most evidences (apart from Ghost Orbs).
*Exit doors can show a handprint. For this to happen, the ghost must be The Mimic, it must be mimicking a Yurei, and it must use the door-closing ability on the exit door. Hence, this occurrence is extremely rare.
