I'm probably horribly late in discovering this game, but who cares. It's got over a hundred levels (which is a lot) and about the same number of people who have managed to solve it all the way through (which is not).
I'm on level 21 and very very stuck, even with the help of the official forum's hint thread.
Have a try. It's...well, it's so annoying, you just can't stop playing.
What???????? I totally don't get it. What are you supposed to do??? I got to #2 and there's a picture of a door. Now what? Is there a commands list or something???
I wanna love somebody but I don't know how
I wanna throw my body in the river and drown

Okay, a hint- this game is about playing around with the source code of the webpage, with the address line, decoding stuff you see on the screen...it's never just point and click (except the first level).
"Spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles flew ever to and from his halls; and their eyes could see to the depths of the seas, and pierce the hidden caverns beneath the world."
On picture 3, the address said: gototheothersite - huh, what other site?
So, I took this to mean: gobacktoHoF
gobacktoHOF!
You're not too stupid, the above proves that (:D), you just don't have the requisite knowledge to play the game. I don't, either, so I'm not even trying.
Well, I got to level 4, but this is just sucking up SOO much time!
I think Lidless would be very good at this, though.
When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows,
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes The Rose.

I mean I got to level 25, what does that prove?
That you have no excuse for not leaving me a longer post?
Googling for level 4 brought some results
"What a place! What a situation! What kind of man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter."
I'm stuck on Level 5! I think I know what the password is, but how the heck do I get the box to pop up so I can enter it?? I'm tearing my hair out trying to solve this one!!

I'm going to try this tonight at home. I cannot dare to try it at work, because i'm being paid to be productive solving problems for the company. Or I could have gotten away with it
EDIT: got to level 5 quickly and now I need to go work
