Detailed Walkthrough

GENERAL TIPS

To return to the Main Menu, click on the MENU button in the upper left.
Each Chapter has multiple Tasks, usually 3 or 4. Tasks may be Hidden Object scenes, inventory tasks like figuring out how to use items in the scene to unlock a cabinet, Find the Differences, or various other puzzles.

There are 23 chapters. Each chapter has multiple tasks.
You can only save at the end of a complete Chapter. So if a Chapter has 4 tasks and you’ve finished 3 and then exit the game, you will have to start all over again with the first task for that Chapter.
The game will tell you if you are trying to exit at a point where you can’t save.
There is no timer.
There is a lot of dialog in the game. You can skip one line at a time by clicking anywhere on the screen. However, you won’t understand the story or your task objectives if you skip it.
You cannot skip the mini-games. If you get stuck, check the spoiler section of the walkthrough for the puzzle solution.
There are four kinds of Hidden Object scenes in the game: List of Names, List of Silhouettes, Multiples and Pairs.
For a List of Names or a List of Silhouettes, you have to find items that match what is on the Find List. Note that additional items will be added to the Find List as you go. In these scenes you cannot collect an item until its name/silhouette appears on the Find List.
For Multiples, you will be told to find, say, "15 bottles." There will be a counter in the top center of the screen. As you find the items, the counter will count down, so you know how many you have left to find. Items may vary in color or size.
For Pairs, you are told to find pairs of objects that exactly match each other. To clear a pair, you drag one to its match. Remember to check in cupboards and behind moveable items.
If you collect an item that you don’t need yet, or don’t know where to use, it will go into your inventory at the top left of the screen and you can use it later.
As you move the cursor around the scene, some items will have text labels.
In some cases if you click on an object or an area in the scene, Irene will give you a hint about what to do there.
In some cases you will not be able to proceed in the scene until you have gotten the pop-up hint, so if you get stuck and can’t figure out why the game won’t let you proceed, try clicking on an object you know is important to see if there is a hint attached to it.
There are usually 3 to 5 interactive areas in each location where doors, panels, or curtains can be opened or shut. You will be able to do this at any time during the location, even if you don’t need to do so.
As you move the cursor around the scene, some areas will sparkle. This usually means it is a moveable area, like a cabinet door that will open, but it can also mean there is something important you have to do there.
You may have to open a cabinet door to get something, then close it again to get something else that was blocked by the open door. So always check both positions of the moveable areas.
Most moveable objects can be moved at any time. A few need keys. If the object is locked, clicking on it will bring up a text bubble that says it’s locked or it needs a key.
Some tasks let you move from one room to another. Sometimes you do this just by clicking on a doorway. Sometimes you have to find a large silver arrow and click it. The game is inconsistent about this.
Some items will automatically go into the inventory tray. Others have to be dragged there. The game is inconsistent about this.
You can click on the ? in the upper right corner to receive a hint.

You get unlimited hints, you just have to wait for the ? to recharge.

WALKTHROUGH (SPOILERS!!!!)

"Cyan" is neon blue.
An object that can be picked up, like a key, is marked with a solid square.
A place where you can interact with the scene, like a lock, is marked with a solid oval.
A door or panel that can be opened or shut is marked with a dashed oval.
If an area is marked with a dashed oval and there is an item marked with a solid square inside the oval, it means that the object is hidden inside or behind something that you have to move.
