I'm stuck. Can't figure out how to get the light on. none of the expected verbs work on it: flick ,push, turn, pull, use etc..

Yeah, there's a few places the text could possibly telegraph what the player needs to do a little more. "push bench" could be telegraphed by having "climb bench" fail with "the bench isn't in the right place.." .

thanks for the feedback. I tried telegraphing (I like that term) information about what happens in that space in other ways, but I think that’s a good one. I typically put a lot of verbs in my match because I don’t like to hang a player up if they know what needs to be done. Turn should work. Let me go back and look to verify.

ah yes, turn worked. Wasn't expecting that as a verb since you normally turn light "on" and we don't have switches that turn here, haha! I feel dumb now.. :D

you know, it hadn't occurred to me at the time because I was working so intensely through the logic of getting the light on and all the aspects of it. But yes turn light is very unsatisfying. I think I'll work more details so that I can have a better light command.
