General Tips

• This is a Hidden Object Adventure Game with a variety of different mini-games.
• You collect items that you see in the Find List. Some of these items are Tools that can be used later in the game.
• Items are generally relevant to the scene unless they are "improper items." They are approximately the right color and size, although there is some variation.
• Items are often partially hidden behind grass, rocks, or other items.
• The Find List is a row of pictures across the top of the screen.

• When an item in the Find List is blacked out, that means you will have to do something else in the scene before you can access it.
• Most locations have one or two zoom scenes. Sometimes you will need to find a Tool in a zoom scene and bring it back to the main scene or another zoom scene to do something with it there.
• Areas will sparkle when you can open up a zoom scene there.
• When you click where the cursor turns into gears, you can use an inventory object there, although you may not have the object yet.
• The Tool Inventory will usually be open. However, in one or two locations you will have to close it in order to get to an object. To close or open the Tool Inventory, click on the tiny gears icon.
• For each location you will have to repair an invention that was damaged by the butterfly effect. This will involve first collecting objects, and then using the Tools you have collected to repair the mechanism.
• All of the Tools will first appear on the Find List. Then once they’re in your Tools Inventory, you can mouse over them to get a text label of what they are.
• Many Tools are combinations assembled from multiple items. When you mouse over the Tool, you will see a list of all the objects it includes.

• The game is somewhat inconsistent in how it identifies multiples in the Find List. Sometimes they are listed with a counter, and sometimes each occurrence gets its own entry.

• There is no timer.
• After you have repaired each invention you will have to collect improper objects that have fallen through a ripple in time. There is no Find List for these tasks—you just have to recognize the items because they don’t belong in that time, or because they weren’t in the scene before.
• Sometimes the ‘improper items" have a theme that matches the invention you just repaired. For example, on the Bakery level, most (but not all) of the improper items have to do with food or cooking.
• Sometimes some of the improper items are the inventions that you’ve fixed on previous levels.
• The game autosaves automatically.
• Click on the grey button in the lower left to return to the Main Menu.
• You can use the ESC key to skip the cut-scenes if desired.
• There is no penalty for wrong clicks, but at the end of each level you will get a scorecard showing you the total time you took and your percentage of wrong clicks.
• There is a HINT button in the lower left corner.
• You get an unlimited number of hints, but you have to wait for the HINT button to recharge each time. It recharges quite quickly.
• The hint is just a large sparkle circle in the general area of one of the items. Do not expect the item to always be in the exact center of the circle—it may be off to one side.
• When you click on a spot where the cursor turns into gears, you will often get a helpful hint about what to do there.

• There are no hints for the mini-games, but you can click on the SKIP button to skip them if desired.
• Once you get to the end of each level, you will get a scorecard showing how you did.
