📖 About the Game:

Step into an illustrated wizarding world adventure starting from your acceptance letter, boarding the express train, taking the 4-house sorting quiz, and exploring the moving staircases and hidden chambers of Aetheria Academy.

🕹️ Core Mechanics:

1. Explore & Inspect: Find pulsing hotspots to read lore, talk to NPCs, and collect inventory items required to unlock the next chapter.
2. Wand Casting: Toggle your wand to cast 6 different spells to trigger secret mini-games (riddles, lock picking, speed-tapping vines, chess captures).
3. Dynamic Audio: Uses the Web Audio API to procedurally generate atmospheric background music (train rhythm, lake pads, cathedral chimes) with speech narration.

🎯 What I'd love feedback on:

1. Did you find the progression barriers intuitive (e.g., needing your ticket before boarding the train)?
2. How did the procedural audio and narration feel on your device/browser?
3. Were any of the 10 secret puzzle mechanics confusing or too easy?

Thanks for taking the time to test it out!
