General Tips & Tricks
The map icon opens to reveal the game map and your current location, marked with a white figurine, and locations yet to be discovered. Areas visited, but incomplete appear as green exclamation marks.
Inventory is located in the lower panel and it also auto hides. You can freeze it to remain open by selecting the lock. There are unlimited hints, but time’s need to recharge before you can request another.
The most important tip is the randomization of both mini-games and hidden object scenes. If unable to solve puzzles with the solution provided, peruse other walkthroughs until you find an untried solution. Also, words marked in yellow in hidden-object scene require additional steps to acquire the object. You often will need to combine objects to create the requested object marked in yellow.
Event cards provide an overview of the storyline up to where you are in the game. Simply hover over the map and a picture from that area will display. Also, collect origami scattered throughout the game to unlock secret character cards.
Each chapter of the walkthrough provides the location and items you will need to progress. Hidden object scenes, puzzle solutions, and origami locations are included.
