    Balancing. The scales

    Can't balance the scales! Don't understand your clue! I have the matches the empty fish bowl and the six digit combination. Do I need more items in order to understand your clue about making what can be seen visible again. Been stuck on this for two days and about to give up on the game.

    Ok how many entrances are there to the study? Can you open or close one of them on your own? If you close the door can you still get in the study? When you return, something should be visible now.

    Oopsie didnt notice you had the cube - you need to open it somehow. What is it made of? How can that go away?

    Hah, came here late to the party - managed to finish the game after I couldn't sleep last night. I think it was rather entertaining despite the snarky comments on iTunes; people seem to expect a full-blown production house game on their phones for £1.19.

    Anyway, I am also happy to help provided I remember all the steps. Would also like to create a walkthrough of some sort at some point even though some elements can't really be 'guided' through.

    Ok I've got a walkthrough written. Played it all over again. I am happy NOT to post it here since there's fun in asking for help but thinking of hosting it externally, like on Scribd.


    Of course it makes sense to ask everyone here...would you like to see it or work your way around it instead? :)

    I think most players that come to this thread like the cryptic clues. A full walkthrough was taken down at one point. Kind of fun on both sides actually - figuring out how to GIVE a non spoiler clue and then trying to figure the clue OUT.

    Maybe if people are really stuck and don't mind being spoiled they can PM you for it?

    Haha, fair enough. Written & uploaded in case people are impatient.

    I played it without them though and there were times when I felt like giving up and reading clues on the internet but alas, pretended it was in ye olden days when I used to play Myst/Monkey Island and the rest and had no internet!

    I'm loving the game-stayed awake way too late last night playing it but am a but stuck now. I've solved the globe, clock, fuse etc and know I have to solve the weighing scales & find a key for the room by the stairs but keep going round in circles. I have a fish bowl with water no fish, matches, a wooden block & combination. A nudge in the right direction please?! ;)

    You need to open the wooden box to continue. You will eventually need to refill the goldfish bowl, but not with a fish.
