Yeah, it definitely has led to some fun moments of panicked searching as I hear banging on the doors, but the camera pan speed makes it a chore.
Some voicelines like:"I'll be taking/borrowing this" could be helpful too. The first time I tried a demo I didn't know if it was gone forever or not until I stumbled across it, but the difficulty was low enough that I probably would have been fine without it for most of the night.
