Red key, I am error room

[deitylink]

I don't know if this have been discussed in this forum or not. I just had probably one of the better runs going through the alt path on one of the harder characters and was completely locked out because i got an i am error room from using the red key. i hope they change the red key to allow you to exit out of the error rooms. Has this ended anyone else's runs ?

I heard you can check the map to be certain you don’t accidentally go too far, because the map doesn’t show the Error room.

Indeed. Looking at the map helps to know if the door that just opened is actually connected to a red room or not.
Unless you have that curse that removes the map.

Generally speaking I feel the number of ways this game locks you into rooms has become a serious problem in Repentance. Multiple times now I have been doing a run to fight Mother or Beast and accidentally auto-pilot into the wrong stage exit and thus irrevocably lock myself out of the path I was on.

On your way to Mother you can actually make two mistakes, when going into the downpour and mines.
Still, just because you auto-piloted doesn't mean the game is flawed.

I actually didn't know you can check if your going to an error room if you don't have curse of the lost. so I thank you for the little tid bit. However I feel that it needs to be fixed just because it can happen like others have stated. I will say i was playing as tainted lost and had 1 up and nine lives with some decent dmg items, i won't say it would of been a won run but it had a high chance of being one. So being locked out of a potentially winning run on a hard character is really rough and feels bad

You can run into enemies if you don't pay attention and lose because of it, therefore they should be removed.

Or keep your eyes opened and be extra careful if you know you're playing a hard character. If you want the game to hold your hand, you shouldn't play this one.

It doesn't need to be "fixed", it's a risk-reward with using the Red key.

Every map has a max size of 13x13 rooms, attempting to create a red room outside this grid creates an error room instead.

Thank for the information I did not know that I'll use that on my next run

Hello. I just wanted to say I never said I wanted to make the game easier. I actually have always thought the game was way to easy. I never implied that I wanted the game to be easier I was simply throwing and observation out there about the red key and what I think could be done fixing/adjusting an item I feel feels bad when it locks you out of a certain path within the game. I will say I didn't know about the 13x13 map size limit and forcing a error room when outside of that size. However I still feel since curse of the lost is a thing it should let you out of the error room if your holding the red key. I also wanted to say thank you for taking the time for even reading this thread.
