General Tips

From the main menu you can change players, play the game, see the help screen and adjust some options.
The options are for screen modes, tutorial, custom cursors (turn this off if your computer is running slow), and the volume control.
There are also brightness controls, but you should keep this in the middle unless you are having trouble seeing the objects.
There are 6 cursors in the game: the normal cursor; the gears cursor, which tells you that you can use an item; the magnifying glass, which tells you that you can zoom in; the arrow cursor, which shows the direction you can move; the hand cursor, that shows you can pick something up; and the word bubble cursor, for talking to people.
Your UI has a menu button at the left and your inventory in the middle.
At the right of the inventory are a hint button and the fast travel map.
If you hover you mouse over an inventory item you will get a description of that item.
If you click too many times in a scene you will hear a slicing sound and see a red X near your cursor.
Some things in the game are based on talking to the characters, so talk to every character that you see!
Search every scene for sparkles; they tell you where the Hidden Object Scenes are and what can be interacted with.
Click on the question mark if you have problems solving a puzzle. If you still can't figure it out, you can skip it after a certain amount of time has passed.
