Re: Gate Puzzle
Whose gate is it?
Note the first letter in each animal's name.

Re: Gate Puzzle
I thought it was easy if you've played adventure games - I got it on the first shot - but hard if you aren't aware of this kind of acrostic-name thinking. Especially since the names of the animals are only written on tooltips that Alex can't really see. Did the builders of the ruins expect the solver to be able to distinguish a rat from a mouse? Or a snake from an adder? For that matter, how did they know the words for these animals wouldn't change over time?
But these are nitpicks. This is a puzzle very much in the spirit of the Sierra games.

Sometimes puzzles are just puzzles and that kind of meta-thinking should be prevented by the willing suspension of disbelief that's expected of the player.Did the builders of the ruins expect the solver to be able to distinguish a rat from a mouse?
