Trapdoor

The trapdoor is one of the most important Stations in Alive in Shelter. It is located in the main room of the Shelter.

## Trapdoor

### Purpose

Going to the Garden, opening the door for Characters, Lighting the shelter during a Blackout, using the CCTV, Increasing the player's Style Points(SKIN), Increasing Defense Points(Skin), Locking the door for the Hobo and Pennywhistle

### Location

Room 1 of the Shelter

Purchasing special Skins for the **Trapdoor** will increase the durability of the trapdoor, Defense Points of the player and Style Points. The default trapdoor skin breaks in 24 days, gives 0 style points, and 0 defense points.

## FUNCTIONALITY

The trapdoor allows the player to visit the Garden, open the door for people who are knocking, check who's outside with the CCTV (The CCTV must be bought beforehand) and lock the door for the Hobo and Pennywhistle. (Must have a Lockpick trapdoor skin). If there's someone outside there will be a knocking sound, the player can also see who is outside the door. See how to do it in the Trapdoor Messages section

If the player opens the trapdoor and Snowman is in the Garden, the player will be able to see him peeking through the trapdoor.

If the player opens the trapdoor and leaves it open all night, there is a chance the family may get Sick, if the player clicks on the trapdoor while it has 0 durability the trapdoor wont be able to get closed until either the day passes (which may result in Illness) or the player fixes the trapdoor and closes it manually. To fix the trapdoor the player has to click the repair button, which will bring its durability back to 100%, the player has the option to use one of three recipes to fix it, and can scroll between them with the arrows.

**Recipes:**

* Wood x2 + Tools x1
* Wood x5
* Glue x2 + Iron x1

## TIPS/BUGS

### Tips

* Always remember that opening the door for Helpers could still lead to Illness.
* Illness from opening the Trapdoor can be avoided if the player has a Blanket.
* Lockpick trapdoors are pretty useless in Retard and Easy mode since the Hobo doesn't rob the player in those difficulties.
* The CCTV cannot be used in Devil mode

### Bugs

* If the police is outside the shelter and the player is under the effects of Piss Vision, pressing the trapdoor will read:

> *"THIS IS THE POLICE! OPEN UP! (THIS IS THE POLICE OPEN UP!)"*
>
