Since the search function doesn’t seem to be working very well right now for some reason, I’ll just start a new thread on this.  
[Mysteries of Time and Space (MOTAS)](http://server-admin.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/motas/mystery/game.htm)  
The game was linked in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=248462&highlight=crimson+room). I first heard of it in June or July from my friend Corey, and managed to finish it for the first time a few days ago. (I would have finished it in July, but couldn’t due to circumstances beyond my control)

It took me more than three and a half hours, and an hour of that was spent getting out of Level 12. I swear that [this walkthrough](http://www.nordinho.com/forum/viewtopic.php?forum=26&showtopic=5) changed between Thursday and Saturday, though! (on Saturday, it only took me 1.5 hours to complete the game) [Level 13 walkthrough if needed.](http://iruzir.journalspace.com)

Which hand room? What level is it on?

Do it! 😉

Have fun, and enjoy! 😃

Bah. Every time I ascend to a certain point in the maze of pipes, the game freezes up or gets into an infinite loop or stalls or something. 😛

Tried Chasm already… and I’m experiencing the same problem **Leaper** is. 😛
