Breezy puzzlefest that you should probably consult a walkthrough for, August 10, 2022

I liked the puzzles! They fit the sort of casual, escape room atmosphere, but it felt a bit guess-the-verb and it was difficult to figure out what to do. (Spoiler - click to show)For example... I kept trying to climb the shelf to get the key on the hook, and didn't realize I could just reach it by standing on a bucket. I got stuck and relied on the walkthrough to figure out what to do, but the game wasn't long or frustrating enough for that to be a huge problem.

I also thought the story was pretty thin, and the ending, though properly lighthearted which is the most important thing, felt a little disappointingly (Spoiler - click to show)meta with the reference to an underimplemented room. I would have liked to have seen it developed a bit more.
