Key & Compass presents:
greenskeep
by xflorora

In this very short game, you play as someone underwater, certain you were doing something else before. Swim until you find the door to a beautiful kitchen, filled with greenery and a teapot.

This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 1 of the work.

SPOILERS AHEAD. Reading a walkthrough prematurely can sometimes diminish one's enjoyment of a work of interactive fiction. Please make an honest effort to play the work before reading this walkthrough.
