The first letter joins the "find the letter" job. Name is only used by the computer voice. Both stay on this PC.
Each round picks that many jobs at random for the place he's at. He can do them in any order; the card (top left) suggests one. When they're all green, Enter launches. Enter before that does nothing bad: the jobs still to do glow softly. Free play (0): Enter always launches.

Times count from the last bit of progress on the suggested job. Other keys never bring hints: they're just play. The keyboard picture sits bottom right; a click on it closes it for that job, a click on the card brings it back.
Music lives in the music folder (see music/README.md). Each music key tunes the game's sound effects to that song.
Optional. Press Record, say the line, press Stop. Recorded lines play when that job starts; nothing ever waits for them. Recordings stay in this browser profile only.
