That was fun. I see you couldn't resist the old cave-crawl IF trope either!
The pacing (at least for the path I took) suited the dramatic events. Would have liked it to be a bit longer, but obviously that's difficult under the time restraints.
And for some reason loads of these (‘) appear. e.g. "At last, you‘re at the top of the tower. Yet, you’re still underground."
I removed all of the conjunctions, as that seems to be causing a lot of odd text showing in the .html pages. I also added some more plot to the story. Nothing major, but I think it adds to the overall story.
The prose is mostly solid, with a few "meh" sentences. As I said in the comments it was fun to play and had good pacing, even if at times scenes did move a bit too quickly. And I would have liked it to be a touch longer.
