Oh dear it seems I'm not very good at guessing some of these! It's quite challenging (for me at least, I need more practice.) Thank you for the cheat sheet for when I get stuck :)

I enjoyed the other word game puzzles in this series, and this was a fun Halloween-themed entry. I liked that the areas were mostly self-contained, but had some surprising interactions, especially the mime. I even managed to walk away with some candy!

Some bugs I noted:

  • The description for the "driving rain" described the exit as being on the opposite side of the room (i.e. if I entered from the east, it said the exit was to the west, and vice-versa).
  • At the farm, if the chase reset, then returning to the farm caused the chase to start and end in that room.
  • For the "tricky pile", when I found the first solution, the room name displayed as the second solution rather than the one I'd entered.
