Add ten new games (18 in total) and the engine features they need. Story: Dead Air, The Masquerade at Montague House, The Kalahari Expedition, The Alchemist's Vault, Submerged: Deep Lab Nereid, The Kestrel Bank Job. Games can now set their own hint penalty and a hard time limit, shown as a countdown; running out ends the game with the fail ending. Defuse: Tick Tock: Overtime. Manuals are now rulesets, so each game has its own solver. Adds indicator lights, per-level strike limits, and the Passwords, Morse Light and Say It Back modules. Sync: In Sync: Deep Cuts. Adds telepathy (typed word) and ranking rounds, and a per-round bar for the key. Labyrinth: The Drowned Catacombs and The Mirror Maze. Adds one-way gates, a relative (no compass) Explorer, a mirrored Navigator map, and mazes with a lantern count other than three. Validation now rejects a maze where a gate can leave the Explorer stuck. Difficulty runs from 1 to 5. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

blurb: You hold a water-stained survey map. Walls, carvings, traps, and the old one-way flood gates.

blurb: You're down in the dark with a torch. You see the floor under you and the ways you can go. That's it.
|
|
intro: |
|
|
Under the old harbour town, the catacombs flood with every spring tide. Three **tide lanterns**
|
|
were left down there a century ago. Light all three at the sea gate, and the water drains away.
|
|
|
|
**The flood gates swing one way only.** Go through one and you can't come back that way.
|
|
And five stretches of the floor have rotted through.
|
|
|
|
Navigator, you have the map. Explorer, you have the torch. Talk.

The water drains with a roar, and the Explorer climbs the sea-gate stairs into the harbour moonlight.

The Navigator's map is soaked, but nobody cares. 🏮🔑
