The Guild of Thieves

I've been playing Guild of Thieves, a Magnetic Scrolls text adventure. The game starts with you in a boat. I fell in twice before finding the jetty. Forty minutes later I was in a country house reading books, being in a toilet, putting a lump of coal in my pocket, searching rooms and finding nothing of interest, trying to swim in the moat, waiting in courtyards by typing wait repeatedly and having clouds move by overhead, smelling a red cushion, and finally leaving the country house carrying a painting I forgot I had and getting beaten to death by the likable gatekeeper. The game asked me if I wanted to reset, save or quit. I tried saving and it didn't work.
