🕵️‍♂️ I’ve been following Tamara around, learned what items she flinches a little at - the maid’s note, earring and the jewel - and searching locations.

But I do not understand what Gladys is saying about “a certain pet shop” yet 🤔

🕵️‍♂️ Finding that I discover something in #Moonmist each go, but mostly by experimenting/wandering around.

So far I’ve met everybody, worn the proper outfit to dinner, discovered secret passages, ID-ed the ghost, discovered treasure.

🕵️‍♂️ Spent game night wandering the #Moonmist house, poking at objects.

With little going on I even snuck into each bedroom to find everybody asleep, eliminated from my enquiries.

Then 🚔 turned up in morning to take over ➡️ game over! 😳

🕵️‍♂️ Unsure what I should be doing next in #Moonmist, “so far you’ve met Lord Jack and all of the guests, discovered secret passages, discovered the hidden treasure, but you haven’t enough evidence nor identified the ghost!”

Okay then.

🕵️‍♂️ It’s been a minute since I worked the #Moonmist case as the evenings cooled and shortened.

Today I‘ve setup indoors to reacquaint myself with layout, exploring the house for evidence as I really need a clue.

Some detective I am! 😆

An old white iPad placed on top of a desk, running the iOS version of “The Lost Treasures of Infocom”. The manual from a boxed set of these treasures if off to the lower-left, with a yellow bookmark poking out of the top. Meanwhile the main bulk of the desk is covered with a fold-out map of the house (from the Lost Treasures box set), all next to my hand-drawn map as I explored the game for the first time.

Now to await the DLC (I don't think I'll brave the mini games unless they patch the difficulty a bit, I'm not even getting close the bonus high score)

This makes game 14 of 2025 that I've actually finished. Probably a record for me

🕵️‍♂️ My ✏️ drawn 🗺️ for #Moonmist has turned into a mess of lines and squiggles as I try to link all of the locations together.

So I decided to take a peek at the official map, figuring I’ve found most everything by now. Might use that 🤔

🔊 Then this morning I was listening to The @retroadventurers.bsky.social who were attempting to define a precise changeover from classic #TextAdventures into modern #InteractiveFiction.

I’ve a huge gap in my experience level here, which I’m beginning a journey to fill.

🕵️‍♂️ Initially Tamara leads us on a tour of Tresyllian Castle in #Moonmist, but I soon get to explore and map the rooms ✏️

Found secret passages/tombs/crypts; an out of order clue (1, 2, 4); even the treasure itself rather unexpectedly 😳

This is a musty and cobwebby secret passage between the wall of your bedroom and the outside wall of the castle. The secret passage leads north and south.
