This is a really fun little adventure. Well written in a breezy style with some nice descriptive flourishes, and the clickable interface works very well. The puzzles aren't too tricky but require a bit of thought. I'm currently stuck at 22/25 but I will persevere to finish it now I know that the end is in sight!
