The main menu

The player is given instructions before each puzzle and they are not allowed to start a puzzle until all the necessary pieces are in the inventory

There are lots of locked door puzzles, this one's based on a maze

A typical scene early on in the game. Note the inventory, the player has only one of the four blocks that must be collected which is why three are greyed out

The story unfolds through documents that are discovered as the game progresses, these are added to the game's journal

A typical hidden object scene<br>The footprint and soap bubbles require an additional action to make them visible which is why they are in a different colour

When a hidden object scene is completed the player is usually rewarded with a few new inventory items

The game's journal expands upon the story as the game progresses

In Novice mode, when there's a hidden object scene to be completed the relevant area is highlighted by dancing snowflakes. In this scene they are on the left over the oil drum

Difficult puzzles have a skip option which comes into effect when the timer bar is full

An unusual puzzle to unlock a backpack that's been laced up

Though this character appears in on a few game sites as a cover for the game he's actually not that important, he exists to give the player a meat cleaver and that's all

The second part of the game starts here. When the player has worked out what to do they end up in the hospital.

This is a surprise, it's an abandoned military base but they left someone on the operating table!

For puzzler's all the old favourites seem to be present in this game. Here's a rotating pipe puzzle

This is a 'simon says' puzzle. By repeating a sequence correctly more and more boxes are added to the left of the screen until the player can access the roof

A tricky magic number type of puzzle. Haven't come across this sort of thing very often

There's an in-game map which shows the player how far through the game they've progressed. The player cannot go to a location by clicking on it though

There's even a morse code puzzle

Towards the end of the game the player starts to deal with ancient artifacts and ruins

Another puzzle that I've not seen before, it's a kind of reversal of the popular minesweeper game
