Thanks for your comments! Yeah, having written the thing and gone through it 100 times, it's tricky for me to judge what the best experience would be for someone who's new. I think Bunny Boiler stands up by itself- there are recap scenes and so on, although you'll clearly have a better understanding if you've played this one first. It's also a faster paced game and I think some people are put off by all the wandering around in this one.
Happy for bug reports here. I think I know which section you're talking about. We'll revisit this game at this some point and try and sort it out. Might not be able to do anything about it soon though (the coder's working on his own project- and I'm ploughing through our next one).
Cheers for the useful feedback :)
