I'm not sure if this game is complete.
I've tried playing it, and I get stuck after I explore a dozen rooms. Take this section for example:
(Spoiler - click to show)

Clearing
There is an old well in the middle of the clearing. Just by the look of it you can tell that is has long since been out of water.
You can see:

An old well

A wooden cover

>x cover
A wooden cover on top of the well. Looks much newer than the well itself. It has a lock on it. The key is probably not far away.

>unlock cover with key
You unlock the wooden cover.

>open cover
You open the wooden cover.

>down
The cover is stuck in place. There's no using this door anymore.

>remove cover
(first taking the wooden cover)
That's fixed in place.

>lock cover with key
First you'll have to close the wooden cover.

>close cover
That's not something you can close.


And based on my initial explorations, this is the only way to progress in the game.
Not a good first impression, IMHO.
I'd love to change this review, since I appreciate how much time the author must have spent on this, so please correct me where I'm wrong.

Sorry about that. When writing the game, I tried making it easy for the player to use doors by unlocking them automatically if you have the correct key. So, for the wooden cover, if you have the right key all you have to do it type "down" and it will take you through the door without any issues.

I believe the issue of unlocking the cover first and then going down is fixed now. Please don't hesitate to let me know if this is not the case or if there is anything else terribly buggy about the game. It was written well over a year ago now! :)
