General Tips

When a cutscene pops up, you can always skip the dialogue by hitting the fast forward button in the right hand corner.
Remember to stop and smell the roses. You don’t have to just follow this walkthrough – poke around and tap on objects to learn more about them.
Not everything has to be done in a specific order. Be flexible and experiment.
The downward arrow in the top left hand corner takes you back to your previous location. It’s easier than using two fingers to swipe backwards.
