Was sailing through it quite nicely but can't find the 2 way radio anywhere - have resorted to hints option in game and it says it in the elevator - but I can't find it anywhere?
How I can download the game?
Click on the link in "recently added games" and search for the entry box down in the browser window. You will see picture left of the entry box, and "redraw" to the right. Enter the number in the edit box and continue... Should be obvious from then on.

so funny, I didn't want to start a thread because of the hints included in the game, so I just asked in the completed games forum..... I had the same problem.
Spoiler
when you are in the elevator train, turn around and there it is.....the two way radio......so funny I played 20 minutes last nite looking for it....
According to the hints I am supposed to talk to the fisherman at the beach but I can't find him.Ã, Please, can someone tell me where he is?Ã, Thanks.
I had the same problem and searched for quite awhile.....Turn left, on beach area he is out in the water......I was looking for him on the beach....
garden
Spoiler
I have two pillar stones. For the third, I need to fill a bucket with water, but I can't place it and the water on the "drill" does not run long enough.
Found it!
Spoiler
Tried all combinations on the posts, but I did not manipulate the glass sculpture every time. On the posts, the setting is quite obvious. But you have to fiddle with the rings until something happens... I wonder if I had to fill the bucket with blue water
Spoiler
Is it only me or is anyone else facing this? I am in the room with the pedestal that you have to put the round tin box on which lites up the three portals...... When I go into one and then come out again, I don't have the choice of going into the other ones. The lite goes out. What am I doing wrong... I am stuck in the room. In the hints when It says stuck in room?
It says to put the box on pedestal..... Which I did already to get into one of the portals......So I dont know what to do. I get stuck there. No map to get out either

Could you describe where he is in more detail as I can't seem to access any beach area.Ã, All I can do is take the elevator car down but can't make any left turns when I get there.
Spoiler
It is not that beach.on the elevator car....that had me fooled also.
It is at the wind Generator place.... You put your arrow on the sand a little to the right of it and you will see a footprint. then put arrow more forward and there is another footprint. Follow down the path to the BEACH and when you get there, turn left and then look right into the ocean you will see a PERSON
that is the fisherman...... It took me a long time to see him.
As you can see I am stuck again, even with the hints.

The tin box goes back in the wooden box in the inventory. So you can take it back out the wooden box and place it back on the pedestal

Spoiler
But when you go into that room with the pedestal, there is no way out,,,can't go down the ladder, so I had to use the tin box and make the lites to the portals......I can go into one of them, but when I come back out, the tin box is gone and the portls are closed and I am stuck there......So what do I do?
Have to use the tin box....no other choice, but?????

?? Yes the tin box are not on the pedestal when you get back in the union chamber but the tin box are IN your wooden box . open the wooden box in your inventory. put the tin box back on the pedestal and open it. the portals are back . you can not go back with the ladder. you don't have to go back.
Peter you are such a doll........I never thought to look there again. I thought it was lost forever........ Boy was I going crazy with that one.
Thank you sooooooooooo much

Spoiler
That with the box is what happened to Alex. Read his letter. He left the box in the room in the city of Nazaré.
When full power of the Oracle has been restored, read carefully about its purpose and use it "accordingly".
Yes, I read that note, but like Alex paid no mind to it unfortunately....... I finished this brilliant game......A really good one I must say.
Think I must be having a mental block as I can't fathom out what to do in garden of portal. I have found 2 stones, and used round tin to open up portals. Have got bucket and am trying to get machine to work but don't know how. I think I've tried every combination there is but still it won't work.

Use the handle on the drill machine and quick use the bucket on the clean water and use this water on the machine with the funnel
Spoiler
I can't find the rubber stopper in order to make a cannon in the hut. please help!
Cheese33
Spoiler
examine the baskets in the hut. Try several times and when you have a clue about the next steps. The game won't let you do every action from the beginning. The story is quite linear.
Nevermind. I just finished the game. I have a question, though;
Spoiler
How do you get the wrong ending?

how so you keep the drill turning - I have tried umpteen times and it just stops after a couple of seconds :-\
WOW!Ã, I didn't even realize this forum was even created!
I'm glad everyone is enjoying the game!!!Ã, :)
Jane, you're right, the "drill" does stop after a few of seconds, so it takes a bit of quick clicking.
Spoiler
Turn the drill, then quickly open your inventory and grab the bucket, and lastly touch the water.
(TIP: Right-click to open your inventory instead of using the top-left icon.)
Many thanks Eugene, I finally managed to do it!
Hmmmm, I must be REALLY off base, here
For some reason:
Spoiler
I just can't get anywhere. I need to get a mailbox key; however, I can go to the mailboxes, and park where dog toy is. It won't let me go home b/c I need to go to post office.......
What do I do?
Spoiler
go to post office and they will give you a duplicate key. There are different streets than just home and park. Try one of those left or right handed streets......You will see the PO
In the hut, where the heck do I find the Rubber Stopper, which I pressume is some sort of a cork. I've looked everywhere(obviously not :P) but where exactly is it?
I've found it! I am such an idiot haha...
Could someone please provide me with a walkthrough for the garden part of the game?Ã, I've set the levers, collected the blue water and manipulated the 2 rings but still nothing happens.Ã, Thanks
Never mind, I figured the garden out on my own.Ã, I was setting the levers to the wrong symbols as a result of slightly misleading ingame hints.Ã, Anyway, went on to finish the game.Ã, A big thank you to the author.......it was a great game.
Maybe I'm not seeing something, but how do you get/find the stones for the pillar?
Spoiler
did you put the tin box on the pedestal? and then touch it again to open it? This will send 3 streams of lite into each of the areas you are to explore to find a stone in each of those areas.
stuck and envious
Spoiler
in the garden - can't fill the bucket, even when it touches the water, don't understand what symbols you are talking about so can't set rings or posts.
help!!
Laurie, try the following...it takes some quick clicking.
Spoiler
Turn the "drill" machine then quickly right-click to open the inventory and grab the bucket. Move the bucket off the inventory to close it and quickly click on any BLUE water from the "drill" machine.
If you can't do it fast enough, let me know and I'll post the symbols you need.
Thank you, Eugene - the problem was
Spoiler
that I didn't "click" the bucket, just put it there.
finished. It ends rather abruptly, doesn't it?
Anyway - very beautiful game - a pleasure.
and forgot to mention what a pleasure it was to meet Pedro and Inez again - the ultimate lovers.

It certainly is an interesting love story!Ã, Where/when did you learn about it? or was it from the game?
Shamefully - from a trip to Portugal (it turned out that it is very much one of the basic tales of western culture).
I found all for the canon except for the anchor, pleeeeese help meh :-*

Thanks Eli! I'm glad you really enjoyed it!
Eugene, your game is outstanding -- beautiful and fun to play. I am having the same problem that Jane had, but my manual dexterity, combined with my use of a touchpad rather than a mouse, is making it impossible for me to do this quick maneuver to complete the task with the bucket. I believe this task isn't really very realistic, either, since ordinarily one would have the bucket handy sitting on the decking rather than stuffed in a rucksack each time one goes to get the water flowing. Do you have any ideas for how I could finish the game despite my physical inability to complete this task?
My only suggestion to make this game more fun for those of us who aren't physically quick is to find a way to make this less of a task of quick movement and more of a problem-solving task.
Thanks for all the work you put into this game, and for sharing it with all of us.
Elizabeth

In regard to the "drill" puzzle, I really insist that people try to solve it as has been posted before...quick clicking...
BUT if you absolutely can't do it this way (ie. if you use a touchpad) then read the following spoiler to bypass the puzzle:
Spoiler
When you fill the bucket with the blue water from the drill and pour it onto the "circular machine", two symbols are revealed. The letters are: alpha & omega. They sort of look like a small letter 'a' and 'w'.

I've got the 2 way radio, and I'm just looking for somewhere to use it. Tried all the channels in the hut on the beach, and a few other places as well, but no answer. I'm assuming the correct channel is 83, though? Not sure what to do here... :-\
Karelimur,

Walk to the top of the mountain (Monte Sombras) and then turn to your left.Ã, This is a "nice secluded spot" to use the radio.
OK- I just got the scepter- and am lost! Any ideas?
Love this game-When you say "drill machine" are you referring to the circular machine?
Yes I think so.... The drill machine is that circular machine in the water garden.......You have to get some water into it to get it to flow....

Because game is storyline driven, you can't pick up the dog toy until you try to open the postoffice door and the dog growls at you. At that point, your character suggests looking for a distraction for the dog and you'll be able to pick up the toy.
Have fun!
So, there's esomething I need help in that even the in-game Hints don't help me with
Spoiler
I'm in the wind generator tower and the hints say I should look for tracks only I don't see any. The next hint talks about the beach but I don't know how to get to the beach. Need help figuring both out.
Spoiler
to the right of the tower, by the view where you see the car, there is a hotspot for footprints. That will lead you to the beach.
actually...
Spoiler
look at gravel then forest a few times first, if i remember correctly
How do the letters alpha and omega help me bypass that wicked water puzzle? THIS IS ONE GREAT GAME. thank-you
Spoiler
looked at the crossbars and both of mine are in the furthest down position....maybe this will help you? also the inner ring is facing to the left and there is two half circles on it.
Put bucket in the water to fill it up
First- Great game! Just my gennerÃ, ;D
One question:

I made my way though the game, got the blue and black stones from the garden and monestary, but failed to find a third one (in the chapels?)....
What am I missingÃ, ???
BTW:

1. I got the snuffer I took from one of the chapel, but can't seem to find how to use it, other than ringing the bells in the right chapel.Ã, ?
2. Is there anything I should do (so far, couldn't find anything) with the working panflutes (the ones making sounds)?

So you actually have the two stones from the Garden and Castle. In the monestary, what you want to do it play two notes on the panflute that match the same two notes when the bells are rung. It can be a little tough. If you can't figure it out, use the in-game hints...it tells you which notes to play on the panflute.
Enjoy!

No laughing now...I poured the blue water, saw the signs, but can't seem to find any identical ones on the posts or glass discs. Could somebody point me in the right direction. The hints haven;t helped me. Thanks.

Go to the page before this one and look under my name... I explained the position of the posts and glass disc there. Hope this helps you. I think I just lucked out with my solution....
Rosie, I followed the instructions but still have not seen or found the blue stone...Where is that thing? lol Jacquie ???
Jacqui Hey I just did it.
Spoiler
You need to reset the wodden posts. The left one to the top notch, the right one to the middle notch. Then go back to the glass machine and fiddle with it.
Thanks for such a beautiful game! What a huge amount of effort went into this.
That Ness! :) I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it.
Jacquie, if the garden is still giving you problems let me know and I'll walk you through it. It's certainly one of the trickier parts of the game.

It just involves a bit of pixel hunting. There's a area around the bottom-right quarter of the cave where you need to use the key you've created.
Good luck!
I don't get the lighter that is behind the flashlight to diffuse. How do I do?
Thank you!!! =D

Hi Felina, I'd like to help unfortunately I don't understand what you're asking. Having you tried using the Hints in the main menu?
Yes I used, but I don't find the lighter. It is written that is behind the lantern, but I don't get to find.
Thank you.
