alright so this interactive fiction rids the frustrating RNG of colossal cave adventure (which inspired this), so I should love it -- but with it only translated to English in 2009 (I believe is the year), and lack of helpful info (like I never would have known in Colossal where to drop the treasures/why to drop the treasures), I feel like I may have to return to this one to be fair. (and this is even with having background with Colossal now, so I am better equipped for early interactive fiction)

I am enjoying making a self-made map, but it's still just becoming a mess due to the trick rooms and what not. And I haven't even been able to begin to tackle the treasures and where to drop them.

If someone has even just that basic info of where we are supposed to store the treasures, please let me know! Thanks! I can't believe there aren't more forum posts and IF-site posts with at least basic details!
