I think the randomizer is too overbearing for the control panel. I've tried many combinations pressing the buttons in the order of the ones it highlights or avoiding those altogether. Either way, I guess I get super unlucky and keep pressing the wrong order. It leads to pretty aggravating situations because it's sometimes the one task that keeps my status light from going red.
Another quality-of-life improvement to add might be to have the door stay open after Misty bangs on the window and runs back to her room. With how often she runs in and out, it might make more sense to just leave the door in that hallway open until the player checks it and closes it themselves. At that point, reward the player with slightly more time before she returns?
