General Tips

• This is an Adventure game. There are 5 main chapters and 1 bonus chapter.
• There are 2 Modes in the game, Casual and Challenge. In Casual Mode you can skip a puzzle after the “Skip Puzzle” button appears in the upper left corner.
• In Challenge Mode, you will not be able to skip any puzzles and some of the puzzles will be harder than in Casual Mode. This walkthrough provides you with solutions for both Modes.
• You can click randomly in the scene without any penalties.
• The Locate Power in the lower left can help you find inventory items. This power must be charged before it can be used.
• You can look at your score at the end of the game, along with the number of Dream Pieces you collected along the way.
• Your final score and ranking will be affected by the amount of time it took to complete the game, how many puzzles you skipped, the amount of Dream Pieces you collected and the amount of times the Locate Power was used.
• Make sure you pick up Tangle’s Notes that are scattered through the game to obtain insight into the game.
• Left-click on an inventory item to pick it up; right-click on an inventory item to return it back to the tray.
• An inventory item with a number next to it can be used several times.
• The inventory items and the Dream pieces should be in the same location the first time you play the game. If you choose to replay under the same name some of the items may be in alternate locations.
• The Dream Journal will be located in the lower right corner of the scene. In it you can find parts of the story, clues for puzzles and you can read all of Tangle’s notes that you picked up throughout the game.
