Synopsis

Plot

It's been a year since you visited the crypt of your friend Thurnley. When you arrive, the caretaker tells you that some hooligans smashed the mausoleum a month ago and it's been haunted ever since. He leaves you to see for yourself and says he'll collect you in the morning.
Poor Thurnley. Can you restore his peace?

Notes

Release 1 (2013-10-31) was an entry in EctoComp 2013. Release 2 (2013-12-31) was an entry in the 7th annual New Year’s Minicomp. This was rewritten with different prose and room descriptions, but retains the same main puzzles and game mechanics.

I was pleasantly surprised this came up randomly, and I'm glad a solution got posted, too! It's a very interesting and amusing puzzle. It was nominated for an XYZZY award. I think people who like the pure-puzzlier stuff will enjoy it.

Agreed. This is only a small game, but the puzzle mechanic is one of the cleverest that I've ever come across. I'd love to do something similar in one of my games, but I wouldn't even know where to start.
