Always put the zoom before everything else.

You had more mistakes, but i fixed them all.
Every character you placed on screen you first placed them according to left - right and in next line you specified the spot. Only spot them, other is too much.
Then you placed overlay into the walls instead into the base. Base is the background and with background stand the overlays.

In walls we place characters and zoom, but never with @, place them with & and zoom must end with “in 0”.

Then cut to zone, transition and you can start with the story, the furniture of this house. :smiley:

Difference between & and @ is
If you put @
Characters will pop out in the screen suddenly.

If you put &
Characters will be placed on screen when story starts :heart:
