General Information

Main Menu

The Not You? button displays the profile window which displays any player profiles that have been created. Select the New Player button to add a new player, click a profile and then select the Delete Player button to remove that profile from the list, or select the OK button to return to the main menu with the currently selected profile.
The Start Adventure button displays the difficulty selection screen for new players. From here you can choose to either start the game in casual mode or advanced mode. Casual mode causes the hint and skip puzzle buttons to recharge faster and less time is needed to highlight the next collectable item. Advanced mode causes the hint and skip puzzle buttons to recharge at a much slower rate, and most hints that are given in casual mode are unavailable in this mode. For existing profiles, the game will automatically return to the point in the game that has been reached.
The Options button displays sliding bars to adjust music and sound volume. There are also options to switch between a custom cursor or system cursor, switch between windowed mode and full screen mode, toggle widescreen correction or change the Graphical User Interface. More options in the GUI become available by finding red gems in the game.
The Credits button displays a list of people that were involved in the making of this game.
The book at the bottom-left corner of the main menu links to the Big Fish Games strategy guide page for this game.

How to play

Move the cursor around the screen until it changes. Gears will appear below the cursor when it passes over key objects or objects that can be interacted with. An eye icon will appear when an object can be examined more closely. A door icon will appear when a new area can be entered. Single left click to perform an action when one of these icons appears.
When a key object has been clicked on, a ring will be displayed with white circles around the outside of it. Each of these white circles represents an object that needs to be found in order to complete the key object. Once an item has been found, move it to the middle of the ring and left click to add it to the ring. New objects become available after a key object has been completed.
The circle at the bottom-left corner of the screen is the inventory. Items that are added here can be selected and used on other objects in the area. Only one item can be stored in the inventory, although sometimes new items will be automatically combined with the current item in the inventory to make a new item.
The bar at the bottom of the screen displays the current goal that needs to be completed in the area.
The hint button at the bottom-right corner of the screen displays a helpful message or indicates the next object that needs to be found. It takes one minute for the hint button to recharge on casual mode or two minutes on advanced mode.
Mini-games are played at certain points in the game. These can either be solved or skipped using the Skip Puzzle when it becomes active.
Unlike most hidden object games, no penalty occurs when clicking repeatedly over a short time.
