Hi everyone, first time posting here.

On my PS2 Slim, the second floor door of the Mall stairway has a change in behavior if you came back from the Subway. It teleports you back to the start of the Subway level if you try to open it from the second floor. I'm wondering if this glitch is available on the PC version.

If it is available, I think you can potentially save some time after using the Closer OoB near the bookstore. Returning to the Mall from the Subway by transforming, grabbing the flashlight, using the hanger, and using the Transformation OoB on the escalator would be identical. Instead of heading to the fountain, however, you would head towards the storage room. Once you exit the room, you can head toward the stairway door. Opening the door will teleport you back to the start of the Subway level.

On my PS2, this saved 15+ IGT seconds compared to heading to the fountain. Note that you needed to have already triggered the cutscene with Douglas and came back from the Subway for this glitch to occur. If you haven't, the door will behave normally and let you head down to the first floor.

Apologies if this has been discussed already.
