Hello,
ok, here is the updated version. I have simplified it greatly as I have removed the Map class since it was merged with the Engine class. By combining these two classes and making use of the global variable Location.next_location, there is no need to make function calls via instance variables and nested function calls via inheritance. The Location.next_locati on serves as the key for the scenes dictionary. Thus, the Location.next_location determines the current method being executed.
I have also updated other areas of the script whereby I removed unnecessary self object instance variables in the cases of static methods. Please reference the material on the matter so that you understand the theory behind it.

For the print menus, consider the option of giving the user the option of just requiring them to enter a number or a letter as it will greatly simplify the user experience. There is prone to be typos. If that is the case, there is potential for unknown unintended consequences and will require you to add additional layers of code to catch typos.
This is an example of the current version:
action = input("> (open window, open door) ")
Here is an alternative. Notice how it is much easier to deal with from a user point of view. No typing required and less potential for typos.
action = input('\nPlayer options:'
'\n--------------'
'\n1. Open window? Enter "1"'
'\n2. Open door? Enter "2"')
Good luck!
