Bump! Hands down the best puzzle i've seen here so far and awesome rewards.

This is not just a puzzle but a work of art, props!
In a certain area (or rather, both of them) the clickable areas of everything are about 50 pixels further down than they should be. That makes some stuff more difficult (like understanding that something is a label for something, or exiting something). But as far as I know it still works. (I'm using the latest version of Firefox on Windows 10).

I did test on Firefox and it was fine for me, but it's very possible that there might be some bugs. (I did find out today that resizing the browser window after loading the page can cause some issues with the areas.) I'll go through it again after the weekend. You're the first one mentioning this though, so it might still be something on your end like some extension or just some general weirdness. At least it still somewhat worked for you.

I truly am, as the title suggests, puzzled. And so many people have solved it too! A meager 2/5 :( ah well. This was super cool though.

This puzzle town reminds me of the GeoCity level in Broken Reality, maybe a little bit of Virtuaverse as well. Thanks for the giveaways!
PS: I am on a verge of solving my third GA in this puzzle 'fetching' a file on one of the computers, but I am not sure where to find the text of this file. If you can offer an explanation, then you can chat with me privately via SteamChat.

As someone already said before, the clickable areas are sometimes further down.
I think it happens when you have a screen zoom higher than '100%'. I had to click way lower than where the images actually were and I realised it was because I had a screen zoom of '110%' in Chrome. When I changed it to '100%' it worked just fine. Wasn't much of deal except in those with small areas like the posit in the wall, which you may not realise it is clickable.
I believe this can be fixed just by making the CSS responsive.
Anyways really cool puzzle

Sorry in advance for going full gamedev/playtester/review mode on feedback >->
Reminds me of the Escape Room games (the old Flash ones), but with the type of puzzles I enjoy far more. I know they take much more effort (even without the graphics, there's all the coding), but I love puzzles like these. The graphics are nice and give it a more polished feel. Loved both the variety in types of puzzles and the varying difficulty. I look forward to trying out your older puzzles! (Assuming they're all still accessible/solvable ofc ^^")
Bugs
All bugs can be easily fixed by user (#1 being fixed just by increasing vertical size of browser window), and none are game-breaking, so just small things.
#1: Like others have said, resizing shifts the hitboxes. If the browser window is vertically too small, the image changes dynamically (vertically only), but the hitboxes themselves are consistent, causing a mismatch. For example, the very top button in the PC is the same width from the top of the container no matter what. The fix would be to either have the container and image stay a consistent height (probably the easier way), or to have the container, image, and hitboxes/buttons resize together.
#2: You can open multiple "pop-up windows." For example, open the ramen stand, and then click on something else without closing the ramen stand window. Fix would be to either close current window upon opening another, or prevent another from being opened if one is already open. Even something like a transparent layer to come up underneath the window would stop the mouse from interacting with other buttons on the screen.
#3: Highlighting sticks. On the PC, if you hover over the third button, then quickly hover over "Leave" (or vice versa), both stay highlighted. If you click the one you're currently hovering on, the other highlight remains and won't go away until you go back into that screen to unhighlight it.

Originally I thought I couldn't solve it, but after trying a few times, I found a way and solved it.
Looking forward to the next puzzle.
