The whole map consists of various rooms including visitation rooms, an infirmary and two big prison blocks dedicated to jail cells. The whole layout is very nauseating and can get confusing at times because of being eerily similar. There are also many congested catwalks which act as a great barrier when in the middle of a Ghost hunt. The light switches for many rooms are located in other separate which can oftentimes be very scary when a Ghost is manipulating the lights. There are only a total of two or three escape routes on the whole map which makes it very difficult to get out alive.
