Took me 72 Steps to get though this. It reminded me of old flash games I would play when I was younger. I can definitely say that the "hints" were about as unhelpful as you claimed! Most of getting through this for me was just keeping track of which rooms lead to where and using process of elimination. It was charming, and fit the theme well! Not bad!

What was your best time?
Note: Some hints are helpful!
SPOILER: The constellation hint for example, points towards room 7 as it is of a constellation with 7 stars. The triangle with an arrow hint actually means "base" (it points towards the base of the triangle). What is the base for standard counting? 10. So room 10. I made some hints unhelpful on purpose as I thought the game was too easy. I have second thoughts about this nowthough.
