A lot of new authors seem to bite off more than they can chew, and end
up releasing a game that seems thin.  A game with a few locations and
puzzles, well fleshed out with non-default answers and clues, is vastly
preferable to one with those puzzles and answers spread out over dozens
of one dimensional locations.

FWIW,
