Thank you very much for the feedback! I want to work on this a little more after all is said and done. The reason I included questions as a requirement to continue was as a means of prodding players forward - to avoid the "there's no reason to do this, so let's not do it" issue. I didn't have a lot of space to explain my rationale (or much of anything!), so I hoped the cryptic nature of the questions/answers would fit with the cryptic nature of the rest of the journey. Thanks for pointing this out as a sticking point.
