This is a lovely looking and very well written game with quite an unusual format for Adventuron - one of the most original things I've seen done with it, in fact. I like your characters (Gord is hilarious - I could talk to him all day) and the relationship with Pel is sweet, if veering a little too far into the saccharine for my taste. But I suppose this is a Christmas fairy tale after all.
Your experience of escape rooms really shows here: the puzzles are clever and well implemented. Unfortunately, I found them just a bit too hard and a major interruption to the gameplay while I struggled to progress, since the player is locked into each puzzle until it is completed. I'm not very familiar with these sorts of puzzles and found them a bit frustrating. Pel helps (a really well implemented progressive hint system, and I enjoyed that you even provided a response to getting her name wrong which, of course, I did) but I would have preferred a way to leave and come back to puzzles, or skip them altogether. But maybe that wouldn't work with the structure of the game.
In any case, and despite those negatives, it is a very smoothly implemented and enjoyable game. Well done!
