Give a reason to even be in the sleep room - more minigames?

[Henry Chocolate Bar]

I like the idea of the sleep room but right now it seems like there's not really a point to stay there or walk around (you can just tab and load a trial). It needs to be fleshed out more so people have a reason to be there - the beta had public voice chat but that's removed, and there's no text chat so there's basically no way to communicate with other people.

Also, the place would benefit from loads more minigames for people to play. Cards? Tic tac toe? These could easily be explained in lore as being encouraged to keep your mind sharp etc. Could also have more QTE based minigames like a strength testing one or something.

Thoughts?

It's the pregame lobby if you're in a party. It's a pretty solid decompression room/town to take a breather in and manage your progression as well.

Edit your character, customise your room, purchase upgrades, meet other players (if teaming with randoms is your thing), arm wrestle (ie. practice lock picking), browsing trials.

Its far more immersive than a boring menu and I like it!

But i do agree having more things to do while waiting would be great.

I know its not a Role Playing game but it would be nice to interact with the sleep room more.

For example, sitting on chairs or being able to interact with furniture you buy.
Turn on your radio, activate the newton's cradle etc.

Edit: or open up the cafeteria to let you purchase food with the money you make then receive a small 15 minute buff when you start your next trial.

Yeah but there's nothing to do in it while you wait, all you can do is jump and play one mini game. Also you're wrong, the place is mean to be an area where you can find other players and "socialise" so it would make sense to have more ways to socialise. Having global voice chat on by default seems like the bare minimum for socialisation. I don't think you understand the game!

Yeah exactly, actual reasons to hang about in the lobby. There's not really a reason to buy the room cosmetics because there's no way to even show off. They should definitely add mini games as purchasable things (maybe rebirth specials or big challenge things like complete everything A)
