Need to be able to quit the game once dead

This has happened 3 out of my last 4 suspicion games (which is why I only like to play cooperative, but often can't find enough people).

I go in the acid wash room and some noob follows me in on the very first turn. Normally I wouldn't play with noobs, but it already takes 20-30 mins to find a game as it is so I don't want to make it harder.

Then I'm stuck in the game until it is totally complete and can't start playing a new games while I wait for the others to finish. Every time I was the guard and every time it was within the first 2 turns so they would have no clue I was the guard. Can't stand playing suspicion mode....

I tried to concede the game, but it wouldn't let me. I ended up being stuck in the game, unable to play anything, for 32 minutes! What a waste of time....

Yet, if someone finds the Regeneration Room, you'll be back in the game. So you have to stick with it.

While I agree such situations can be painful, it will get better as you cultivate a group of friends who have some experience with the game.

Yeah it's not a good mechanic for an online game.
When I die early, I'm forced to either follow the game I'm not playing in case someone regen me (with a risk for it being useless), or to not follow (with the risk to be regen without knowing anything about the game).

That's annoying :(

If someone has access to the publisher/creator, would be nice to have an 'house variant' to remove that room and make a player dead leave the game.

Maybe that's a good chance to find something useful to do during waiting or trapped times. Relax, learn, meditate, make up your mind about the sense of your life, sing (singing takes you beyond), do something good for your body like gymnastics or drinking water.
