Room 14299
Here I'm stuck...with nowhere else to go (except the dark room at the right....which I can't get thru alive)
Room 14098
I suspect there's an error in the middle
The fact that this platform is not working results in not being able to open the grey door in the lower right corner, which results in not being able to pull the lever behind it).
