General Tips

You can pick from many options on the Main Menu screen: including Play, Options, Help, and Quit.
You can change the current user in the bottom of the screen.
You can adjust the volume, change the cursor, set full screen, or see the credits in the Options Menu.

Your log is in the bottom left corner of the screen; here all of the information in the cut scenes can be viewed.
Finish each hidden object scene by finding all the objects in the list. Click on the objects in the list to see their shape.
Click the Hint Button at the bottom left corner of the screen to activate a hint if you get stuck. The hints recharge slowly as you play.
Clicking the object in your list will show you a silhouette of the object.
Some objects that you find will go into your inventory; you can use them in later scenes.
There are five types of cursor. When the cursor is changed to a hand, you can collect an item. The compass cursor is for navigation. The clock cursor means you have to wait for something. When the cursor is changed to two gears it means you can interact with a specific area.
In this game, when you find hidden objects, they will not be removed from the scene; instead they will usually be cleaned up and moved into a more appropriate place in the scene.
Many hidden objects are behind doors or inside other objects, and many times you will not be able to open the container they are in until the object is in your list.
Look for interactive areas when you have inventory puzzles. The interactive areas tell you that an inventory item needs to be used in that spot.
Look around the scene for more items that you may be able to use if you are stuck in an inventory puzzle and you have no more inventory items to use.
