Hello! Thank you for the feedback. It helps greatly.
I didn't add too much context on why the game was designed this way, but it was designed around a discord chat bot cypher/riddle game translated into RPG maker.
I agree that this is not a traditional room escape game and I apologize if it was misleading in that fashion. I can add a bit more info into the comments.
Again thank you for the feedback!
PS. The book does have a purpose, although I can't spoil for what!
