To unlock doors you have to After unlocking a chest it allows you to see and and obtain the items inside the chest. To unlock something you must use a key that matches the type of the thing that is locked. After you successfully unlock something with a key, that key is discarded so you can't constantly keep using the same key to unlock things.

• In the game the concept of key is more abstract meaning that items that are not just keys can "unlock" areas that are "locked" by things that are not necessarily a lock (A vaporizer and thick trees)
• "unlock north with Door_Key"
• "unlock chest with Ancient_Key"
