I made it to the library, thank you so much, I was going down the right path but doubted myself so your help put me back on it again, I’ve never felt so much satisfaction from an adventure game before and I think that not being able to cheat has made this game extra special, your vague hints are the perfect level of guidance, no doubt il be stumped again at some point:-)
I agree about walkthroughs, like you said below so many games are now practically walking simulators with little thought needed. I’m enjoying your game so much, I’m trying to make it last as long as possible by putting it down occasionally, which is hard, it’s rare I’m excited by a game this much, think I’ve passed day 3 ( not sure) my location has suddenly changed...... no spoilers but very exciting!
