   - **Tasks**:
     - Design puzzles that integrate with the narrative and gameplay.
     - Implement puzzle mechanics and solutions.
     - Test puzzles to ensure they are logical and fun.

### 9. Implement Interactive Decision Points:
   - **Objective**: Transition from keyboard input decision points to clickable decision points.
   - **Tasks**:
     - Convert existing keyboard input decision points to clickable areas.
     - Ensure clickable areas provide the same choices as previous keyboard input options.
     - Test to ensure the clickable areas work as intended and enhance player engagement.

### 10. Create Backgrounds and Scene Visuals:
   - **Objective**: Replace textual descriptions with visual representations of scenes.

### 11. Creation of Clickable Hotspots, Including the Navigation System:
   - **Objective**: Allow player interaction through clickable elements.
   - **Tasks**:
     - Create clickable hotspots within the static scene to allow player interaction.
     - Add graphical representations, such as sprites or icons, to visually indicate these clickable hotspots within the scene.
     - Add navigation controls, such as clickable doors, arrows, or navigation buttons, to allow players to move between areas of the game world.

### 12. Create Visual and Auditory Feedback for Scene Interactions:
   - **Objective**: Provide feedback for player interactions.
   - **Tasks**:
     - Introduce subtle animations or effects to provide feedback when players interact with objects or hotspots within the scene.
     - Add audible feedback to complement the graphical feedback in the form of temporary sound effects.
     - Test feedback mechanisms for responsiveness and clarity.

### 13. UI Design and Implementation:
   - **Objective**: Develop and integrate a user interface for interacting with the game.
