The walkthrough really lays bare a decent Order Of Operations, so hopefully it will help people achieve better ENDINGS. Playing through them all again recently was a thrill, and I squashed a couple of bugs, to boot.
A couple rare events only become apparent in NEW GAME+, or by revisiting the text adventures as THE HERMIT.
Thank you so much for playing it and I hope you had some surprises along the way. Cheers and thanks again for the art also
Edit: If you run ANEW at THE MACHINE, you can start over with all your gear...might be a means to reach a better ENDING.
