Counted passages exclude SugarCube special passages (StoryInit). Endings are passages tagged “ending” plus any changes made in UrdTrace. Static links are [[links]] written in passage text; links made by macros or JavaScript are not listed. A recorded step shows a passage was displayed; it does not prove which dynamic choice produced it.
Worklist (6)
| # | Passage | Kind | Status | Note | Tester · run · step | Route before |
|---|
| N1 | Fare | typo | Open | Typo: “He weighs them, nods,” — I think “and nods” is missing a word, or the comma is extra. | ana · 1 · 3 | Start › Ferryman |
| N2 | Passenger | story | Open | Why can’t the passenger go ashore? One more line about the tide would help here. | ana · 1 · 5 | Ferryman › Fare › Crossing |
| N3 | Mud | bug | Fixed | Bug: I shouted for help from the mud, but the next passage says I “walk back along the jetty planks”. I was never on the jetty. | bo · 1 · 3 | Start › Causeway |
| N4 | Dunes | story | Open | The ending after “Dig” comes very abruptly. One more beat before the tin box? | bo · 1 · 8 | Haggle › Crossing › Island |
| N5 | Shelter | story | Open | Lovely atmosphere in the shelter. I slept without reading the tide table and only noticed it later. | cy · 1 · 4 | Start › Causeway › Posts |
| N6 | Haggle | story | Open | Is it intended that “Walk away” sends me back to the causeway? It felt like a loop. | cy · 2 · 3 | Start › Ferryman |
