First:

Spoiler

Talk to Bridget outside the shop about the magic and ask her to wait.

[close]

Then:

Spoiler

Wait for Herman to be busy with the yo-yo thus not paying attention so you can take the fairydust from the shelf (not the star-dust)

[close]

Finally:

Spoiler

Use the fairy dust on Bridget outside to get an idea how to use it all

[close]

That should result in the item you're looking for.

The dog:

Spoiler

At the hut go south. Thor has lost his dog

[close]

Water:

Spoiler

Why do you need water?

[close]

To find the tape

Spoiler

Right at the start there was a note on the door to the office of your boss.

[close]

To get the tape

Spoiler

Throw the note away. You'll keep the tape

[close]

From your first save, you still haven't seen Jeanine walk away. You can walk past the sleeping quarters to the left. Alternatively walk further to the right. You need to see a screen-change. Same goes for the second save game. Just walk a bit further to the left....

Ooopsss.... my mistake.    You also need

Spoiler

the tape to stick it. Sorry I didn't read my NOTEs...

[close]

cant fix it to the magnet

Spoiler

You need to use the lighter with the magnet to burn the plastic off.

[close]

Start the game, get out of the room and walk either left or right.

That did the trick for me. Not sure what happened in your case but since you're only at day 1 you might want to consider a fresh (re)start. If it still doesn't work, let me know, I'd like to see your savegame.

I just tested it:

Spoiler

You need to see Jeanine run away. That means either from the door of the sleeping quarters to the left or walk the corridor all the way to the right. After you've seen Jeanine run off, the doors will open.

[close]

To get the key:

Spoiler

Did you melt the magnet? With the plastic it's too weak. Then you need the yo-yo in order to get the string. Use those together and you should be able to get the key.

[close]

I tried it and it gave me both items at once. Are you sure it's not in the inventory? It does look a bit odd.

[edit]
Just another thought: did you use the bolt with the dish already? What do you see when you look at the dish?

Look around at everything.

Spoiler

There's a KEY on the reception board.

There are many rooms to explore. Even upstairs there are rooms. Talk to everyone you meet to find out what's going on.

Allright, I'll try again. See what happens... :-)

[update] Right... I thought I'd mention it would be an idea to put that info in the readme... guess what? It's there already!!! I must have read that file 50 times without seeing that part. It might be because the header says: Walkthrough. Oh how I hate walkthroughs .. 

My apologies again. The walkthrough will be available online shortly.

Hmmm, every time I try to do anything with the pressure thing, it says, "It seems to be working fine, I don't want to tamper with it."  Am I missing a hot spot?  They're had to find in this game sometimes, since they're not marked by anything!

Yeah, you need to walk to the back. When you use the bar in front, it says that, if you walk to the back there you see the machines close up. You need the one on the left. The text is indeed misleading because it isn't fine.... yet.

I'm not completely sure where you are but I guess you mean the herbarium. In there you have the emergency exit on the left, the pressure doors to the library on the right. In front of you are a power generator and a presure control unit.

Spoiler

To open the door on the right to the library, you must give the switch on the right on the presure control unit a tap and thus switching from low to 50. The pressure of the door to the library will then be normal and the door can be opened.

Well, that was certainly short. I'd expected a bit more exploring.

Like said by others, graphics are good. The mumbling of Thorak is funny but the voice of the chief/narrator is a bit dull. Not sure how to explain, it's not really monotone but also not very 'lively'. Maybe another voice would have suited better.

If this is the first episode of 12 and they all have similar length, I'd prefer them all in 1. Either make the episodes longer or put them together. But this is just a bit too short to get me really into the game.

I found no technical issues, the only thing I found a bit strange was that the saw disappeared all of a sudden after use and how Steve all of a sudden got out of the tar pit...

I'm curious how the hunt will continue though.

It's on the table inside the house in plain sight. If remember correct it's on the left side of the table.

Well if you really want a walkthrough look here, otherwise just ask :-)

The historical thing to give the lighthouse keeper is o'Malley's diary.

You need to show o'Malley her picture. Flynn died in the alley but took the picture out of the locket. Give that picture back to o'Malley. Flynn had the locket, the picture can be found on the island next to the dead guy, that is, after you've killed him.

That is so much better! It's a 9 now! You know why? Because you took the effort of listening and changing in such a short amount of time. I appreciate that. Respect.

Plans for a next project already?

[update] Now that I play again, I notice you've also changed the location of the kitchen.  8)! It almost looks like Gaming On Demand.... wait till I get the bill.... 

No the black marker is a visible spot.

I didn't put any indication there on purpose. You have to click on the exact spot

This ruins the game for me. It was a nice game, the object hunt for the DVD and marker etc. But this... no, sorry. Just blind clicking on a spot of which you can't even know it's there because there's no hint or conversation that mentions it. Sorry, but in my opnion this is just not done in an adventure game, certainly not in one of a quality like this. In my ranking it went from 8.5 to 2 just because of that last bit.
