Amazing game. Really well done.

I am stuck in Fantasia. I have the jade jar after dealing with the stone statues but can't get through the portal to Somewhere. Is there something else I should do?

Hey, I've sorted it myself. I should have read the book more closely.

I'm stuck in the time traveling thingy in the small TSA building outside. I try to replace the middle ball in the cathedral with a copy but the game won't let me. It keeps telling me: "I can see no point in replacing that with the stored artifact!" If I just want to store the artifact the game tells me that you can only store one artifact at a time. But as far as I know I don't have any artifact stored! What do I do wrong?

I haven't played this since 2013, but there is a long hints forum for this: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=48320.0

Perhaps your question is answered there.

I remember this being a tricky point for me as well with the game mechanics of this puzzle...

Have you:

Spoiler

Tested all the balls yet to discover exactly which one needs to go back to the temple?

Hello tsa

Is it coincidence that your AGS ID is the same as the intitials in my game? From what you have posted it sounds as if you stored one of the other balls before you tried to store the middle one. Try doing this:

Spoiler

Check each of the other balls with the scanning probe. If they are the original balls the analysis will say that they are made of local quartz, but if one has already been stored it will read, made of TSA composite. If this is the case, replace it with the stored ball, which should return that ball to its original analysis and clear the temporal store.

If this doesn't work, let me know, with as much detail as possible please. I'm always conscious that there my be hidden bugs still lurking in my code.
Good luck

I gotta stop coming to this hints thread. I'm trying to completely forget this game...

So I can play it again one day, because it's freakin' AWESOME!!!

Thank you Mandle
I really appreciate your continued support. I made this game out of love for the genre and I want as many people as possible to enjoy it. I'm always happy to offer help to anyone stuck, and if I don't respond to a query on this thread (I don't monitor the AGS pages all the time) please send a PM. I will always respond to that.
Good luck to you all,
Elen
