Are there any plans to make a game with this (gorgeous) format but with a longer story and more locations?

I remember playing the earlier version a while ago and being intrigued.

Edit:

Spoiler

I just finished it, really liked it. But are you going to tell the story behind that bag and the magic pen that was in it?

HINT

Spoiler

Look at the arrangement of the buttons and then at the Wall of Fame.  Do you see a resemblance?  That might help you find the order.

I can see that there 3 4x4 grids of game covers and 3 4x4 grids of buttons below. But I'm not seeing what to do with that.

Side note: my goodness you've played a lot of adventure games. Some of those even I haven't played.

I understood all that from the book but where and how do you

Spoiler

draw the sigil

?

I'm stuck at the same place. There are no hostpots on that machine, you can't use any inventory item, nowhere to enter the incantation or draw the sigil, etc. I don't even see a starting point or something to experiment with.

SHADOW

You CAN use an inventory item...on another inventory item.

Hint:

Spoiler

Specifically, the wand and the book.

Turn the book to the page on colour magic and use the wand on the sigil there.

Lol, that's so true! 
I did see the first "extremely obvious" WWW, but I'll go put on my detective hunt and forage around some more. Thanks again Elen.

edit: Oh how ridiculously easy. I did see those right at the beginning, and just forgot about the URL itself, in place of the larger/primary text, which I did make a note of (luckily, it seems).

I forgot about it as well. I knew I was going to feel dense once I had the answer!

Now if only I could figure out how to open the door to the control center. I tried loading a save and watching the pattern as he entered it, but I can't follow it.

lol, I can't believe I missed that. I scoured the office looking for hotspots, and went over that 10 times.

One last question (possibly?) on the globes:

Spoiler

Firsty I assumed (thinking I was clever), that the colours correlated to the order of the colours at the base of the three number signposts around the island. Does the map in the globe room hint as to the order of the globes? I've mapped out the globes in the "map" order, and no dice. Also tried to do the colors outside, only realising that not all colours are shown, some of duplicated. Then thought about the pillars outside the room, but the colours don't seem to be in an obvious pattern.

The map isn't related to that puzzle. It has to do with the doors inside the building. Look closely. Each set of doors has a symbol on it and a color above it.

Hint:

Spoiler

The symbols aren't just symbols, they mean something. You can read them quite easily.

Each symbol is simply a number with the mirror image of itself on the other side. Just match the number to the color above it, then place the spheres in order.

About hidden entrance mysterium:

Spoiler

I managed finding secret entrance but in the last room, I came across five buttons in which we can change between colors such "Yellow", "Orange" and perhaps "red". I believe I need getting artifact or element at church area?

Church area:

I know where I can the wooden key but thirst is never ending of that guy

For the Mysterium,

Spoiler

Look at the railing outside.

For the Abbey,

The ale you are given isn't quite right for the job. You should modify it.

Is there any chance of a guide or walkthrough? I'm loving this game, and making some progress, but I'm still stumped about a lot of things.

Wow, not a single nomination. Thanks, guys!

I pretty much never post, but I had to post for this. Donna and The Cat Lady were the only AGS games I played in 2012 that I will never forget. I'm glad The Cat Lady made the cut, but I don't know why yours didn't. Your game was amazing.

I'm sorry if starting a new thread was innappropriate - in some forums, posting to an old thread is considered rude.

Anyway, thank you for helping me. I would have been sad not to get the most out of a game like this.

Hello. I recently discovered AGS games and I have enjoyed them immensely so far.

However, I'm stuck. I just can't solve the murder mystery! I know it's part of the fun to figure it out for yourself, but I am so completely stumped, I'm going to have to quit unless someone helps me out and just outright tells me the answer. I've read all the threads and hints, but I'm just not seeing the answer. Someone please help me finish this wonderful game?
