Appearance
nSOffice is made to look like a modern office area. Though it looks like a big and confusing map at first glance, its size is not too far from average, and the layout is actually quite simple. The office consists of two floors: Ground Floor: A lobby with an indoor playground/obstacle course, a reception desk. Behind the reception desk is an office room, next to it is Nikilis' Office (which is inaccessible unless you clip through the wall), also a meeting room some seating, and a cafeteria next to it. The other side is a hallway leading to another office room. Basement: A hard-drive storage area underground with a managing room. This map has automatic sliding doors just like ones from The Lab, which can make exiting or entering sections time-consuming, especially if a murderer is chasing you, it may also reveal one's position if the player gets close enough to the door. This is one of the maps (Along with Hospital3) with special ceiling lights that are connected with strings that allow movement when touched.
Hiding Spots
Though a rather small map, nSOffice has many hiding spots which innocents can take advantage of: Behind the boxes around the ground floor (The boxes are pushable, as so it is not recommended to hide behind them). Inside the potted bushes of the indoor playground. On top of the wooden office cubicles in the lobby area (by jumping from the light decorations positioned on the wall next to them). On the trophy case of the office room behind the reception. Inside the tube in the greenscreen room. On top of the pipes in the cafeteria (Requires parkour). On the wooden decorations of the office led by the hallway. Inside the hard-drives with booths at the two sides of it, with the wires. On top of the hard-drives. On top of the managing room. Inside the fridge in the kitchen.
Patch history
Though being named nSOffice, the text on the image which can be seen when voting is actually nStudio. This may reveal that nSOffice may stand for Nikilis' Studio Office Inside the green office room next to the cafeteria, a magenta JD logo can be seen, representing JD, who also contributes to Murder Mystery 2. The pictures placed inside the ground floor hallway are screenshots taken of various maps that used to exist or were going to be added in Murder Mystery 2: Mineshaft, Bank, and Night Club (with the exception of Factory). Inside a door that you cannot open, there is someone that seems to be from the Mafia. In Nikilis' office, you can see Nikilis working on a knife box in paint.net, presumably the godly box. Coins can spawn in Nikilis’s office, However you can't collect them. nSOffice was removed during the Easter 2024 update. The reason is that the map was horribly optimized and that the map was very laggy for a lot of players. The doors, lighting, objects, and moving parts are thought to have been the culprit for its removal. Nikilis himself said the map needed optimizing. There are plans in the future that suggest the map is getting a revamp to be better optimized. It is the worst optimized map in all of Murder Mystery 2, with many players experiencing bad performance while playing it. Most players think it's because of the maps excessive lighting and moving parts. The automatic doors can be buggy for slow/old devices, so if you are being chased by the murderer, it is recommended to not go through the doors.
