You wake up dazed and confused, with something of a headache. The last thing you remember is playing armadillo tennis, just like any other Thursday. You're lying on a bare wooden floor, the grain rough against your palms as you push yourself upright. A calm, somewhat croaky voice is heard from the next room:
"Welcome to the Latitude Inn. You're here because the quadrupedal court has found you guilty of harassment of local fauna. As I'm sure you understand, that needs to be addressed before we can let you back out. Once you demonstrate your rehabilitation, you'll be free to leave."

This game was entered in a PunyInform competition.
It's a compact game, with a couple of rooms containing animals. Due to your misdeeds against the animal kingdom, you've been sentenced to hanging out in a hotel and helping a frog sleep.
The writing shines best when describing nature, like the animals and the final scene.
The puzzles are a bit unfair; I was pretty bewildered about what to do for a while until running to hints, and then still having trouble. I got the main puzzle really easily (Spoiler - click to show)(even without hints, if you ask frog about scale, it gives you a puzzle that tells you word length corresponds to weight, and the archimedean principle is pretty clear, but figuring out how to get the items to carry it out is hard, and there are a lot of red herrings. One thing that would improve things significantly is if (Spoiler - click to show)the egg on the penguin's head was explicitly mentioned if you call them out at the right time).
Overall, it was interesting, and the nature imagery was memorable.
