Tips, Tricks and Warnings!

Please give the HUD and the game surroundings time to load. There is a lot going on! That will help you see things better so you can avoid walking into walls or bumping into other players.

Please understand that by making certain decisions in the game, you can die. There is no time limit in the game so please take your time and think about your choices.

IMPORTANT: If you DIE or CRASH or RELOG during the game, you will have to detach and re-attach the HUD to be able to play again.

Double-click teleporting or direct teleporting is not allowed during the game. This will ‘kill’ you and you have to start the game from the beginning. We strongly recommend disabling double-click teleport under Preferences while playing this game.

For fullest immersion be sure to enable sounds, setting them at a comfortable level. Ensure you are set to Shared Environments for the best lighting and effects. Removing your AO will give the best results with any animated parts of the game.

The puzzles may be challenging, so take it slow and enjoy! Also, be sure to pay attention to nearby chat for instructions and clues/hints. Keep a paper and pen/pencil close to keep notes, they come in handy! Remember you can move attached puzzles by using your arrow keys on your keyboard
