This chamber features the game's first 'hidden den', which gave me some real heebie-jeebies when I first played this game as a teenager.
You can find the den near the two turrets facing each other and get inside by moving the cubes.
What's inside?
Tins of beans, jugs of water, cartons of milk, a makeshift stove, a cardboard bed - and some wall scrawlings that mark the first appearance of "the cake is a lie" line.
