Welcome to the Windmere Estate. It was once a very beautiful place but has grown shabby from disuse. There still are many places to explore and it has beenn rumored that there are treasures which may have been left by pirates who once prowled the grounds.
This is the first game I have ever come across that actually tells you how many moves your flashlight will last for before plunging you into Stygian gloom. It is worth a play and works fine via AppleWin.
I must confess to having hit an impasse in this game having scored 285 out of 415. I suspect that parser issues may be holding me back, having finally managed to open the vault using an abuse of the English language to finally browbeat the parser into submission by accepting the door combination. For no apparent reason solving this puzzle automatically takes you inside the vault and unable to make your egress while holding the piece of paper that has the number code written upon it. You cannot open the door with the correct combination unless you are holding this item outside the same obstacle. A clumsy construct to a puzzle.
