What if, instead of a jail cell, you had a door that Jack could enter? It doesn't require a key. It's much like the exit door at the of the mansion. But when he enters this door, he comes outbehindthe current room. You enter a brand new room with a door in the same location, and when you go back through the door, you go back where you came from.
This would be a very nice addition for a Midnight Mansion game. I believe I first saw this sort of feature in Braid and Mario. What you're talking about is stepping it up a notch altogether, having the rooms 'synced' with rooms behind/in front of it. Would there be a limit of how far 'behind' or 'in front' you can go? In my opinion stopping at 2 each way would be advisable, just to avoid confusion from the player. You don't want to make the game *too* complicated now, do you.
