Does it never end?

This list may be incomplete. If you find an item not on this list, you can help by adding this location to its item page.

Effect

When the player drafts the Weight Room, half their (rounded down) will be lost. It is important to note the effect is not "on entry" like the Gymnasium effect. Once drafted, the steps will be immediately deducted. From then on, players can enter and exit the room at will, without extra steps loss.

Interactions

  • Activating The Southern Cross makes the Weight Room more common today.
  • [Boiler Room spoilers] The Weight Room is fitted with steam ducts, allowing it to convey steam power from the Boiler Room. Since it has four doors, it can split steam power in three different directions. The Weight Room also has an increased chance to be drawn when drafting from other rooms with ducts, and has an increased chance to draw those rooms when being drafted from.

Behind the punching bag, there is a patch of discolored brickwork which can be demolished by the Power Hammer. Doing so reveals a small hidden space, which will always be accessible on future days.

Inside, there is a lever for the south Antechamber door as well as two documents:

  • Firstly, there is a red memo with the words "The destruction of structural elements of the house like walls is not permanent and will reset every few days."
    • This memo uses a different font to most memos, though it is still red and typed, and therefore still false.
  • Secondly, there is a piece of the underground map tucked under a crate with an added annotation reading "the eighth an / to our".
    • [Significance of the annotation] When combined with the other map fragments, the phrase hints towards the location of a hidden item. For more information, see Underground map#Reassembly.
