Listen to Cuppit, he'll explain how the interface works (right-click to expand the verb and item panels, drag and drop verbs and GUIs if you want to, use first letter keys as shortcuts).

Then, click 'enter' on the 'alley', to enter the alley.

I can't get this game going.....Read all that you said, but that box that pops up with all the words keeps getting in the way when I pick something and then want to use it...... Dumb me/

Radiant

Okay, this obviously needs a better help function... you can right-click to open the verb gui, and you can also right-click to close it again to make more room for the rest of the screen. You should drag/drop the verbs you use most to the top, so you can access them instantly. Failing that, use keyboard shortcuts.

Okay, I've hardly got going, and I'm stuck:

Spoiler

I can't get rid of the angel! I've tried each of the Seven Deadly sins as well as things like murder and theft, but he still won't let me pass. Aargh! Got the feather off him, though.

And is is possible to get rid of that unicorn? I've swiped his hat, but now I've run out of ideas completely.

Thanks
Always carry a UV marker pen with you. When you go to a shop or a friend's house, if you see something you like, put your name and postcode on it. If it gets stolen and subsequently recovered, the police will get in touch with you so that they can 'return' it.

I too need help:
Spoiler
I have just started the game, I have two hats (santa and cowboy), a feather from the angel, and a pumkin from the start screen...I have been in the zoo and hotel but can't seem to do anything (can't free the elf in the cage at the zoo and I cannot get the key or ball from the hotel), also cannot get rid of the angel...any hints??

You can get the key by distracting the zombie
[close]

Spoiler
There is something in the lobby that the zombie will pay attention to instead

Radiant

You can get rid of the angel,
Spoiler

but he won't believe you TELLING about sins unless you've actually DONE them.
[close]

It is possible to get rid of the unicorn
Spoiler

later in the game.
[close]

The ball in the hotel
Spoiler

cannot be picked up, but might be useful later on anyway.
[close]

If you've run out of things to do,
Spoiler

try waking up the whale.
[close]
Spoiler

No, you can't pinch hard enough yourself.
[close]
Spoiler

There's something else you can take that can pinch.

Spoiler

Wasn't there a bucket for feeding animals in the zoo? Try that.

I swear I can't get anywhere in this game:
Spoiler
I gave the feather to the monkey inside the hotel so he can write-he went outside but I don't know what else to do with him...also, about the feeding bucket at the zoo-I can't take it so I assume I need something to bait the crab but I don't have anything to put in the bucket-what am I supposed to do-I am trying to commit a sin to get rid of the angel but I have not been able to get rid of him...any ideas?
[close]

**EDIT**
Spoiler
I was thinking I could use the apple from the start screen to bait the crab but he won't let me have it...I think i need to give him something else to use as a muse??

Put the cowboy hat on the head of the piano guy so he can't see when you take the apple. But after that I'm stuck - the crab walks to the bucket and nothing happens. Help!!

Man, I'm finding this game incredibly tough so far!

Spoiler
How does one get the feather off of the angel?  I don't see a feather anywhere around him.
[close]

Spoiler
How does one distract the zombie hotel manager?  I've been trying to do different things to the ball but not having any luck.
[close]

Spoiler
Once the whale shoots me off to Amsterdam, I can't return to the prior screens.  Is there a way to do this, say for example to return to the zoo screen?
[close]

Fizzii

Haven't gotten that far yet, but:

Spoiler
Feathers are on his wings. You can't take the angel, but perhaps there is another verb which might help you obtain the feather which is on him

pinch

Spoiler
The ball won't distract the zombie manager. There is a tv however

Move the TV

Thanks, that was the intent :)  I do believe everything makes sense, for a given amount of sense that is <g>

That's good though, you'll need him later.

Listen to the TV in the hotel. That should give you some hints.

Sure, you can just enter the clouds to jump down.

Of course, it's a far drop... humans don't fly well.

I am stuck again...of course, lol:
Spoiler
Got shot up a screen and received a herring, but other than that I don't know what to do on that screen-maybe steal the watch somehow to commit greed? Went back down via the clouds but I don't know what else to do...Haven't been able to use the room key yet...?

It is used in most un-key-like fashion, since that's what one of the rulesets required.

Thanks Fizzii and Radiant for the hints.  I'm now generally where everybody else is.  A couple of things I have been able to do that I don't see mentioned are:

Spoiler
I can give the crab to the guy standing in front of McDragons and he gives me a dragon egg and game board in return.  I can eat the dragon egg but nothing happens.  Who knows what the "red herring" is for.   :P  Knowing this game, I bet it has a crucial purpose.

Going in circles, this is what I figure we have to do so far:
Spoiler
I need to get rid of the unicorn, find some paper for guy in the clouds(book in hotel?), fix a wobbly stool(would like to cut a tree, but don't see anything to use), and send an elf to the North Pole?
[close]
2 sins committed so far:
Spoiler
gluttony and sloth
[close]
Any clues greatly appreciated as to what to do next?
