/vr/ - Retro Games

Does anyone know if there is another way out of this room in Wreck of the Maria Doria? I saved just before a timed(with no indication) trapdoor shut me down here and since it's PS1 I'd have to restart the whole level if this really is a dead end; and by restart the whole level I mean drop the whole game because to be perfectly honest this has been a total slog compared to the first one and I'm not redoing 40-50 minutes of this agonising italian genocide simulator.
