If I were writing the game now, I would make the first puzzle with the
coloured shapes less obscure; maybe by having the central room contain a
fresco of the sun's passage during the day, complete with colour coding, or
something similar. I would also do something better than the "instant death
if you're not wearing the bracelet" puzzle!
