General Tips

Mini-screenshots

• Mini-screenshots are highlighted with a yellow dotted line.
• Notice the mini-screenshot that is connected to the TRASH BIN via a dotted line. It is displaying what the TRASH BIN will look like if you zoom into it.
• When multiple mini-screenshots are connected to each other, it means that they are directly related.

• Follow the course of the dotted line to discover in what order the mini-screenshots should be viewed. For example, this time the order was from top to bottom, because of the course of the dotted line.

Scenes

• The cursor in this game has 3 different forms; an arrow, an open hand, and a magnifying glass. The cursor will change its appearance when it is hovered over certain action items, or areas, in a scene.
