Solution by Garry Francis
----------------------------------------
Note: This is the solution for the original Adventuron version of the game entered in Adventuron
Halloween Jam 2019. Later versions on other platforms are different.

This is a minimal solution to a very hard game. It took me over 2000 turns to solve it the first
time I played it! It's a guess-the-verb nightmare. EXAMINE and SEARCH are different. Apart from
GET and DROP, there are very few verbs that seem to be understood, even when you would expect them
to be. Unlike most other adventures, I discovered that you have to use USE for most useful commands.
Once you realise this, everything becomes much easier. If you systematically try EXAMINE, SEARCH and
USE on everything you find, you'll go a long way towards a solution.

The biggest problem is that you will often need to do something in one room that has repercussions
in another room, even though they might be unrelated, and there is no indication that anything has
changed. When you feel like you've hit a dead end, just revisit every room to see if anything
has changed. If you get desperate, repeat the EXAMINE, SEARCH and USE commands on everything. This
is a long, slow, tedious process, but it will pay dividends in the end.
