What does the "Fresh fish" lever do?

[Gen Chernyahovskiy]

Hey everyone. I've completed two playthrough of the demo recently, on "Half Moon" and "Full Moon". Enjoyed the second one a reasonable bit more, perhaps because I'd gotten the hang of it and started treating it as a survival horror game rather than a stealth game. I see that people have been playing it for a while now, so I won't be making a generic "feedback" thread, but I will say that I have enjoyed it a good amount.

But one thing I've not been able to figure out is, what does the "Fresh Fish" lever do? It's in the "storage" (?) area, in the room right by the guard whom you hear die and where you pick up the handle to open up the path to the 2nd plaque, through the vent. Does it do anything at all?

Edit: Although I will say that I wonder whether the final game will give any incentive to try a pacifist playthrough (or even simnply to minimise killing) - it seemed too hellish to attempt for me, but if there was a reward...

Opens the door near the bridge.

I'm not sure I understand what bridge you're referring to.(

I remember that the area with the 2nd plaque has a bridge leading up to it, but that's opened from the main room, with the handle that you pick up. I'm not talking about the handle, if that's what you meant, but about a lever reachable through a vent.

Other than that what other bridges were there?..

Ah, right, thanks. That place has slipped my mind. A pretty cool secret, not sure how fresh that fish is, though. =)

All the customer has to know it that it was fresh. At some point. ;)

Regarding the question about pacifism, the dev has stated that the intended way to play is for the player to just get through using whatever they need to, and doesn't want players to feel like they've somehow messed up or are playing the game wrong for being put in a position where shooting their way out is the best way out.
