Feedback

Still building

The pagoda is still being built. Some rooms are empty, the residents are characters, and things may break.

That's the honest state of it. We'd rather hear what confused you, what broke, or what made you want to stay than pretend it's finished. We read every note, though a small project can't always reply.

What kind of note is this?

Your note

You can write up to 1,200 characters. No email or account needed. We save the note with your guest name so we understand the context; no other visitor sees it.
