A little hard to play, but that's the nature of text adventures. Any thoughts on including a guide so players like me have a chance at experiencing the full game even if we're not particularly good at it?

I should do that. One big hint is that all the clues can be plugged into Google Translate. They should give accurate translations back into English.
The other key is to determine which city you should fly to next based on the language/message of each clue.
More generally, as with most text adventures itt good to ‘look at’ (or ‘ex’, short for examine) things mentioned in the description of a place.
Did you find the first clue?
Yup! I actually did use google translate. But once I found the boat cave and got the second message, I tried typing in everything I could but still couldn't figure out where to go. Was there a proper "travel" command I should have been using to fly? I resorted to using north south east and west because I didn't know how to type the right travel command, and those seemed to work for a bit.
It appears I should give more clues about which airports to ‘fly to’ next.
I have that set up in Athens. If you ask the clerk at the information booth about Melissani they will tell you to fly to Kefalonia. I wasn’t sure if people would need that for the others, but other people are asking too, so I obviously should.
The closest airport to Waitomo is Auckland.
