General Game Information

The game has 13 chapters with 18 mini games and multiple interactive scenes.
There are no points awarded and the game is played for story completion only.
There is an optional tutorial at the beginning of the game.
The game has no timed mode or penalty for successive clicking on the hidden object scenes.
You can save at any point and will be brought back to that location upon resuming your game.
Throughout the game you will be asked find 12 to 18 objects within each hidden object screen and one or more of those objects will be stored in inventory to be used at a future location.
All mini games can be skipped once a certain amount of time has gone by which can be seen in the lower left hand corner of the screen.
Hints are freely given but you must wait several moments for it to recharge before you can use it a second time.
There are several types of cursors in the game to help you determine what you can do at certain levels.
There is no specific order to the locations you visit but most of the time you must visit one location to obtain a tool to use at another.
All areas must be visited before the game is complete.
If you become stuck run your mouse all over the screen and look for the mouse to change and click on that area. Any area you click on you can back out of and come back to at a later time.
Each time you play the game you will be asked to find the same items which are always located in the same place each game.

Game Elements

Before you start searching for hidden objects you will be in a location such as the one in the image above where there are multiple things to do. Sometimes the order does matter. If you find yourself in a puzzle that you can not finish because you need something put your cursor at the bottom of the screen and back out.
You can back out of any scene if you choose and return to it later.
NOTE – If you back out of a puzzle before it is complete you will reset it.
If you see an area with sparkles such as the area circled in yellow above click on it as this indicates a hidden object screen.
In every hidden object screen there is at least 1 item that you must find to use in another location. In this walkthrough those items will always be circled in red. All listed hidden objects will be circled in yellow.

Hidden Object Screen

This is an example of a hidden object screen.
1.The items you are to find are listed at the bottom and the amount always varies. When you find an item click on it and a line will draw through the word in your list.
Several scenes will require you to interact with it such as pulling a curtain or opening a drawer.
If you see the cursor change to a hand this indicates you need to click on that item. There may be hidden objects behind these areas so it is best to check for these areas right away when you begin a new hidden object scene.
When you locate the special item it will go into your inventory which is marked "Tools" at the bottom left of your screen.
2. If you get stuck or need to pause or exit the game click on this image in the lower right corner.

Inventory/Tools

In each hidden object screen there is at least one item that will go into your inventory or tools.
1. In the lower left hand corner click on "Tools" and it will open and fan out as seen in image above.
Note that there are buttons at the top and bottom so you can scroll through the items in your inventory.
To use an item click on it and drag it to the desired destination.

Hints

If you need help there is a hint button at the lower left of the screen.
Note that you can only click on the button if it is recharged.
Watch for the green circle to redraw and this indicates you can use a hint.
In image above a hint is being used. Note there is a circle of smoke around the gear. The circle of smoke does not stay long so pay close attention when you use a hint.
There is no penalty for using a hint.
When you choose to use a hint, a random item from the list will be revealed to you,

Cursors

Magnifying glass cursor

This is known as the magnifying glass cursor.
Whenever you see this cursor it means you can click on an item to have a closer view of it or to interact with it in some way.
NOTE – It’s a good idea to run your mouse all over a scene carefully before you do anything else to determine which items need to be completed.

Grabbing Hand Cursor

Whenever you see this cursor you can interact with the scene.
Usually you will be asked to open drawers, cabinets, doors, or to pick up items.

Globe Cursor

Whenever you see this cursor you can click and move to another location.
In most images of this walkthrough you are shown where this icon can be used.
If you are not sure how to exit a scene place your cursor at the very bottom and usually this will back you out into the previous scene.

Single Sparkle

Whenever you see this single sparkle in a scene it’s an indicator that you need to click on that area.
Usually it is a picture, note, or something to further the storyline.
If you see a sparkle in an interactive scene it usually indicates the location you should place something.

Mini Games

Here is an example of a mini game.
A few of the mini games in this walkthrough have multiple solutions and at least one will be provided in this walkthrough.
You have the option to skip a puzzle if you wish by clicking on the "skip" button at the lower left corner of the screen. You must wait until it recharges which takes a few minutes.
There is no penalty for skipping a puzzle.
You should be able to find answers in this walkthrough for each mini game puzzle.

WALKTHROUGH

This walkthrough is one example of how this game can be played. The order in which you choose locations is up to you but note that you can’t proceed in some areas until you have located a tool to use in it, so you may find you have to back out and return to areas at a later time. The order I have chosen minimizes the amount of backing out you will have to do.
All areas must be visited and completed to finish the game.
In the hidden object scenes all items in the list are circled in yellow, the item for inventory/tools will be circled in red, and any areas you need to look closer at in a scene are circled in blue.
