General Tips

You can choose to play in Casual Mode, hints recharge faster, and active areas sparkle. Advanced Mode has no sparkles and the hint button recharges slower.
Until you have played all the way through the game you can only play “Regular”. After you complete the game you can choose between Regular and Mirrored play.
Mirrored play is the exact same play; however items that were on the right will now be on the left and so on.
Click on the Menu (M) button in the lower right corner to exit, pause or resume the game. You can also adjust your options (sound, music, and screen size).
The Hint Mirror (H) will show you where a hidden object is, or reveal the next step, if you are down to 1 Hint Mirror it will slowly recharge after its use.
Additional Hint Mirrors are hidden in every scene and can only be used once. All Hint Mirrors will be marked in blue, in the screenshots, unless otherwise noted.
You can zoom into your Journal (J) to review what you have done and find clues to help figure out puzzles.
Your inventory bar (I) will show what your current tasks is or a list of item you need to collect.
If an item appears in the inventory bar in blue it requires an action before you can pick it up.
In this walkthrough all inventory items will be marked in green in the screenshots unless otherwise noted.
When an inventory item is needed later it will be place on the bar (N), next to the Journal.
In every Hidden Object scene is a TIN CAN. Collect all 59! You will see a red can (C) without the check mark, next to the Hint Mirrors when one is available.
When you scroll over a TIN CAN your cursor will change to a crosshairs.
All TIN CANS will be marked in blue, in the screenshots, unless otherwise noted.
Puzzles can be skipped once the Skip Button (S) is full.
If you scroll over an object that can be moved to reveal another object or used to obtain another object, your cursor will slightly grow and glow.
If you click randomly too many times your cursor will be unavailable for a short time.
In between chapters you can hit next to move the storyline ahead or skip it altogether.
