Premium content Alternate Ending can be unlocked from the main menu.
Throughout the game, various “Collector’s Rank” objects will be hidden. Collect these to boost your Collector’s Rank. These objects are circled in blue in the guide below.

Inventory items are always visible at the bottom of the screen during the main gameplay. Once an item is finished being used, it will disappear from the inventory items. Inventory items are capitalized in the guide below.
An in-game diary can be accessed at the upper right-hand corner of the screen. From here you can keep track of in-game events, as well as keep track of your location: a map can be accessed from here, showing you where you’ve been, where you are, and where you should probably go next.

Hidden objects aren’t randomized: they’re all circled in the guide below.
The guide below is divided into chapters according to in-game goals. Locations use the same names as the map in the game.
If you find yourself stuck at any point in time, look for objects or locations that are sparkling: these are things you should take note of, and will need to interact with in some way to continue.
Game options can be accessed from the main menu.

Chapter 1: Jimmy

You’ll begin the game on the deck of the ship. There’s a blue door in front of you, and a red toolbox to the right. Click on the red toolbox for a closer view.
Click on the toolbox to open it, then collect the Control Light, Card, and Tweezers from within to add them to your inventory.

Enter the ship through the blue door straight ahead.

Stairs

Immediately notice the yellow control box on the stair railing, as well as the red locker in the background.

Click on the yellow control box for a closer view. Use the Control Light from your inventory on the broken one to replace it, then click on the switch to restore light to the room.
Now, take a closer look at that red locker: use the Card on the left edge to open it, then collect the Pipe and the Door Handle to add them to your inventory.
Now look at the door on the right through which the light is coming for a closer view.
Use the Door Handle on the hole in the door to restore it to working order.

Click on the door to open it and proceed into the next room.

Corridor

Take a closer look at the barred doorway on the far side of the room.

Use the Pipe on the bars to bend them apart and gain access into the next part of the Corridor.
Take a closer look at the far doorway with the green edges: you’ll enter a close-up revealing the location of Jimmy.

Use the Tweezers on the grate to recover the Keys and add them to your inventory.
Return to the Stairs.

Stairs

Take a closer look at the suitcase floating in the water. Use the Keys on the locks to open them and gain access inside the suitcase. You will then enter a hidden object scene.

Upon completing the hidden object scene, the Screwdriver, Hacksaw, Switch, and Flare Gun will be added to your inventory.
Return to the Corridor.

Corridor

Back in the first portion of the Corridor, take a closer look at the grate floating underwater on the right.

Use the Screwdriver on the red screw in the upper right-hand corner, then reassemble the broken control wheel. The solution is shown below:

Proceed to the second part of the Corridor, and take a closer look at Jimmy’s previous location: fixing the control wheel seemed to have fixed the water flow, but dropped Jimmy down the Ventilation Shaft. Click on the Shaft to follow him.

Chapter 2: The Pool

Pool

Jimmy has survived the fall in one piece, however his leg is now stuck in the Pool. You’ll need to track down someone who can help you free him.
Before you do anything in this area, pick up the Book on the left: this is the first of several family possessions you can collect throughout the course of the game for increased Collector’s Rank.

Click on the sparkling area on the right to enter a hidden object scene.
Find all the items listed at the top of the screen; their locations are shown below:

Upon completing the hidden object scene, the Cogwheel and the Extinguisher will be added to your inventory.
Proceed towards the back end of the room, beneath the sign reading “Great Hall”.

Use the Fire Extinguisher on the flames in front of your cabin until they’re all put out. While you’re here, don’t forget to also pick up the Stuffed Panda to acquire Collector’s Rank 2.

Continue to the far end of the Hallway and into the Dining Hall.

Dining Hall

A Steward of the ship is trapped beneath a chandelier, and begs you to help. Click on the switch on the left to activate the sprinkler system and douse the flames, then the switch on the right to activate the fans and clear the smoke.

There’s nothing more you can do for the Steward at the moment, so exit back to the Hallway.

Upon entering the Hallway, a portion of the ceiling will collapse, blocking entry back into the Dining Hall. However, a hidden object scene will also appear over the rubble. Click on it.
Find all the items listed at the top of the screen; their locations are shown below:

Upon completing the hidden object scene, the Step Ladder will be added to your inventory.

Bathroom

There’s a hole in the middle of the floor here, but there’s debris blocking the way. Click on the debris several times until it falls through and clears the hole. The water’s running too fast however, so click the control panel on the left to address the problem.

Find the 10 differences between the two pictures: the solution is shown below:

Now before you go down through the hole, use the Hacksaw on the jagged edges of debris to remove them, and don’t forget to collect the Bathroom Kit to obtain Collector’s Rank 4.

Go down through the hole in the floor to reach the next area.

Corridor (w/Hole)

There’s a Charger on the left wall, however there’s nothing you can use with it just yet. Instead, click on the sparkling area on the right to enter a hidden object scene.

You can choose to look at the Slot Machine on the left before you leave, but we’ll be revisiting here later anyway, so return to the Corridor.

Corridor (w/Hole)

Remember that charger I mentioned when we first entered this area? Now’s the time to use it.

Click on the charger on the wall for a closer view, then use the Cordless Screwdriver on the socket. Wait until the button indicator on the side of the Cordless Screwdriver turns green before removing it from the wall and back into your inventory.
Take a closer look at the Museum doors. Use the Cordless Screwdriver to remove each of the screws to unlock the doors and gain access into the next room.

Heliport Edge

Use the Harpoon on the area marked with an “X” in the screenshot below to secure it, then move along the rope to gain access to the lower levels.

Chapter 4: Thomas

Ship’s Keel

Click the rivets into the up position to open the hatch. The solution is as follows:

Click Rivet 1, Rivet 4, Rivet 7, Rivet 3, then Rivet 6 to open the hatch successfully.

Once the door is busted open enough to can proceed into the next room, do so. You may notice the sparkling cabinet on the right, however there’s nothing you can do here at the moment.

Aquarium

Click the light switch on the right side of the room: it’s big, it’s yellow, it glows; you can’t miss it.
Now, there are a couple objects of interest in this room, however the only thing you can work with right now is the sparkling object outside. You may have noticed the curious fish outside the glass already: well, it’s quite important!

Tap on the glass near the fish by clicking, gradually luring it closer and closer to the rope outside. When the fish runs into the rope, it will release. Return up to the Ship’s Keel.

Ship’s Keel

Pluck the sparkling Rope from the water to add it to your inventory, then return down to the Elevator shaft.

Elevator I

Use the Rope on the metal beam covering the gap expanse to fasten it: this will give you access to the lower (or should I say upper?) levels. The ladder leading back to the outside has fallen, so for now, the only way forward is down.

Elevator II

There’s a very hot lever and a broken elevator door here, however we can’t work with either of them right now. Continue down the rope.

Elevator III

It’s impossible to continue climbing down the rope until the power has been dealt with. Click on the red power box on the left to enter a puzzle.
Open the box, then click on the correct lights to cut the power. Click on the middle and four corner lights to cut the power.

Use the Scissors on the powerless cables to cut them, then continue climbing down the rope.

Once the smoke is clear, proceed through the hole in the wall to the next room.

Restaurant

If you try to approach the instruments in the center of the room here, you’ll notice the presence of a large and seemingly hungry shark, so it’s best to avoid it until you can address the problem properly. For now, use the Paddle to knock the furniture off the ceiling by the door on the right in order to gain access into the next room.

A hidden object scene will appear upon successful completion of the puzzle. However, Thomas is still talking, so we should listen. At the end of the conversation, Thomas will give you the Service Key to add to your inventory (it’s not actually a key, but a sort of wrench).

Find all the items listed at the top of the screen; their locations are shown below:

Upon completing the hidden object scene, the five Missing Cogwheels and the Toaster will be added to your inventory.
Now, there’s a red and white-striped hatch on the middle ship stack in this room that’s sparkling. Click on it to take a closer look.
Use the Service Key on the fasteners to twist them and remove the hatch.

This is the escape route you’ll be using, but first you’ll need to collect diving equipment. Exit the area and return to the Corridor (Bottom).

Remember that red door on the right? Now’s the time to enter. Click on the red door to open it, then proceed inside.

Pick up the Swim Mask inside the dead shark’s mouth to add it to your inventory.

Now, backtrack up to Elevator II.

Now we can make our escape! Return to the Ship’s Stacks.

The moment you arrive here, you’ll receive a call from Dennise. She’s okay and tells you her location.
Take a closer look at the middle stack where you opened the hatch earlier. From here, jump down inside and make your escape.
