Get your Brain in Gear! - Challenging Escape Rooms

Description
This escape room is inspired by the speech known as "The Seven Ages of Man" or "All the world's a Stage" from William Shakespeare's As You Like It.

No previous knowledge is required, but you will inevitably be confronted with Shakespeare's language.

Please play with music and sound enabled! You'll miss a lot if you don't.

Works in multiplayer - please note that the group can only move as one in the fourth age (soldier)

WARNING: This room is long and its puzzles are hard. It contains archaic language and voiceovers. It is very linear and contains very few interactable items. It requires focus and thought. Only proceed if that sounds like something you'd enjoy! It does? Then...

Enjoy!

@mathsmartblonde: Thanks for the feedback!
For the plaques, you do not have to use the zoom to read them. I've placed them at a height where you can just walk up to them and crouch to have a good view. But you're right that I probably should have given the paintings and plaques separate zooms.
You're also right about the clue in the fifth age, of course. If I made this puzzle today, I would put the information down in a more readable and less cumbersome way. I have made a similar puzzle in a more recent room, The Library, and I did provide the clues differently there.

I enjoyed most of the puzzles here, but I found the puzzles in the Sixth Age to be next to impossible for me. With the plaques being a part of the painting when you zoomed, I struggled to read them. Perhaps I am just too old for the Sixth Age room. If you were to do a puzzle like this in future, I hope you'll consider an option for a better zoom. I also ended up taking a screen shot of the clue in the Fifth Age so that I could look at it and the logic puzzle at the same time. I know pinning is an option, but it was too small for my old eyes to read. All in all, a fun time. Thanks for creating this!

This was amazing - I must have spent about 3 hours just trying to puzzle it out. Used the in-game hints but am proud to say I didn't have to go any more detailed walkthrough than that. A great game!!

Thanks @LEM, you are right, a recent game update seems to have broken this part, some objects that used to be reachable were now out of reach. Fixed it.

"The Soldier" room I think it's bugged. My friends and I cannot click on the person on the floor and the horses, we checked to see if something has to activate it so we replayed the room-nothing :(

Really beautiful room, love the ambience!

@GuggaWugga: Well spotted, thanks for letting me know! I've added the alternative solution.
@劉家詐欺嘴: Attributions and links for all the music can be found at the beginning of the room.
