What should I do if a checkpoint restart leaves me behind arena gates?
Update first: the August 19 patch specifically targets the rare arena-gate checkpoint softlock.
For Twisted Tower, the Atmos Games / 3D Realms PC horror FPS — not a Roblox experience, toy or building.
Quick answer
Install the latest Steam build before retrying the checkpoint. Atmos Games says the August 19 patch resolves the rare case where restarting leaves the player behind arena or lock-down gates. If it still reproduces on build 1.0.4.3.1, report the location and build through the official Discord linked from the developer update; no public save-edit workaround is verified here.
Steps
- Close the game normally and let Steam finish the current update.
- Launch again and confirm you are not holding an older beta branch.
- Retry the affected checkpoint on the current build.
- If still blocked, record the area, checkpoint and build, then use the official Discord bug channel.
Requirements / limits
- The developer calls this a very rare case.
- The note does not promise recovery for every already-damaged save.
- No third-party save edit cleared the evidence gate.
- A later official note, a reproducible later-build regression or a changed reporting channel would invalidate this answer.
Common mistakes
- Retrying without confirming the patch installed.
- Using a demo-era save workaround on the full release.
- Reporting without the arena, checkpoint and build.
