Dreams from the Past Walkthrough

Dreams from the Past – Game Introduction

Dreams from the Past is a hidden object puzzle game created by Pixel Haze. You will move from location to location solving hidden object hunts, mini-puzzles and picking up items to use in order to proceed in the game. Gamezebo’s strategy guide will provide you with detailed images, tips, information, and hints on how to play your best game.

General Tips

• You need to click on items in order to trigger hidden object scenes and other actions to further the game. If this walkthrough tells you to click to start a hidden object scene but you don’t have one in your game, move backwards through the walkthrough to find what you need to click to trigger the hidden object hunt. Do not automatically assume the game has a glitch.
• Inventory objects will be written in CAPITALS and highlighted in yellow in the screenshots. The walkthrough will state, “Use the inventory item on the blah blah,” because it assumes you have the item. If you don’t have the item, on your keyboard, press CTRL+F (at the same time). In the text box, type the name of the item you are looking for and press ENTER. This will scan this page for the appearance of that word.
• The Menu button at the bottom left of the screen gives access to the options screen and can bring you back to the main menu.
• Items collected throughout the game go into your inventory, located at the bottom of your screen. You can keep the inventory displayed or hidden by clicking on the lock icon beside the Hint button. It seems to unlock after each hidden object hunt.
• When you click on an item that has spinning gears, small images appear. Place inventory items on these images.

Cursors

• The default cursor looks like an arrow.
• A magnifying glass indicates you can inspect the area more closely.
• Spinning gears indicate you need to perform an action. When you see the cursor turn into spinning gears, click on the area immediately as it will trigger hidden object hunts.
• A larger arrow indicates you can move in that direction.
• The cursor does not change into a grabbing hand when it is over something that can be picked up. Keep your eyes peeled for out of place items and try to take them.

Hidden Objects scenes (HOS)

• Hidden object scenes provide a list of items to find. These items will be highlighted in white.
• An item will be added to your inventory, it will be indicated by a yellow highlight in the screenshots.
• You cannot leave a hidden object scene or mini-puzzle. The workaround is to exit the game to the Main Menu, then return.

Starting and exiting the game

• When you start the game for the first time, you will watch a cutscene (it can be skipped).
• From the Main Menu, you can either press Play to start the game, or you can click on Profile and enter a name, then press Play to start the game. It doesn’t matter either way and is only really necessary if two separate people intend on playing the game or you wish to play two or more games simultaneously.
• When you want to leave the game, click the Menu button, then click Exit.
• When you restart the game, it will ask if you want to start a new game or continue playing your saved game. If you accidentally click Start a New Game, you will be asked if you want to overwrite your other game.

Hint and Skip

• The Hint button is located at the bottom right of the screen. After using a hint, the meter will recharge.
• Hints are only available in hidden object scenes.
• Hints used in hidden object scenes will point out an item to find.
• Skip allows you to skip mini-puzzles.
