THE OCEAN \ THE ISLAND
​
You start this demo in the middle of the ocean, after escaping from the
whale. All you want now, is to get back to Tamir. The thing is… you’re
in the middle of the ocean.
​
Swim forward, to a small island. Look at wreck on left side of the
island and look at wrecked boat on right side of the island. Walk over
to wrecked boat, so you are standing inside it. From this new position,
look at wrecked boat, and you see a close-up of the inside of it. Look
carefully in this area, and try to pick up the SHELL, but it’s too brittle.
Also in this area, dig up the sand, to find a BLACK METAL PIECE. Try
to pick up the BLACK METAL PIECE, to discover that it’s really a
wooden chest that was buried in the sand. Interact with the chest
and the lock, but there’s nothing you can do here at the moment. Exit
the close-up, so you can see Rosella again.
​
Look at the pelican to see that he’s chewing on something. Try to grab
the pelican, but he flies away. If only you had something you could give
him. Now if you haven’t done so yet, open your inventory, and look at
the FISH. Take FISH from your inventory, and wait for pelican to come
back. When he does so, give him the FISH. He catches it, drops
something from his beak, then flies away. Now look for the ‘Patch Of
Sand’, and click on it to get a close-up. Look at ‘Sand’ next to post, and
look at WHISTLE. Pick up the WHISTLE, and you automatically get a
close-up of it. Look at the WHISTLE, and try to blow it, but it’s too
dirty. Exit the close-up twice, so you can see Rosella again.
​
Climb up the palm tree, so you can get a better view of the ocean.
Rosella can look in all 4 directions. Look North, and notice a BOTTLE
bobbing up & down in the water. Look East to see the island of Tamir -
that’s your destination, but it’s too far to swim. Also, Look West and
Look South - you may see a lovely view of the ocean, but you may also
see a mermaid or a whale (the whale that swallowed you), or even a
pirate ship. When you’re ready, climb down the palm tree.
​
Now SAVE your game here. Head up into the ocean, and swim up 4
screens, until you see that BOTTLE in the water. If the shark chases
you, swim in the opposite direction until he gives up and leaves, and then return to your original screen. If you get eaten by the shark,
simply Restore or Retry your game. When you have the BOTTLE, don’t
hang around in the water - you’ll either tire yourself out, or increase
your risk of getting eaten by the shark. Instead, swim back down to
the island.
​
Back on the island, open your Inventory, and look at the BOTTLE to see
there is a NOTE inside. Open the BOTTLE, and you’ll find some
SPECTACLES along with the NOTE. Use Magnifying Glass icon to
examine the NOTE, then look at NOTE to read it - the NOTE is a letter
from Geppetto to his lost Bambino (Pinocchio, anyone?). Now exit the
close-up, so you can see Rosella again. Walk back into the wrecked
boat, and look at wreck to get a close-up of the chest. Try to use
SPECTACLES on the lock (not the chest). However, it’s too fiddly to
break open the lock while holding the SPECTACLES. Go back to your
Inventory, and use Magnifying Glass icon on the SPECTACLES to
examine them, then use the Hand icon a few times to break them (this
won‘t work until you have already tried to use SPECTACLES on the
lock). You keep the iron EARPIECE\LEG, and discard the rest. Try to
bend the EARPIECE, but the metal is too strong. Now exit from the
Inventory window.
​
Notice the anchor at bottom-right corner. Use the EARPIECE on the
anchor to straighten it out and it turns into a LOCKPICK. Exit close-up,
so you can see Rosella again.
​
Walk back into wrecked boat on the right (so you are standing inside
the wreck), then look at it so you get the close-up of the old wooden
chest again. Use your newly-fangled LOCKPICK in the lock, and the
chest opens. Look at the various treasures inside, and take BRIDLE,
take NECKLACE, and take GOLD from the chest. Also take RAG from
the chest. Look at RAG in the close-up, to see it has a sticky sub-
stance on it. Go to your Inventory window, and use RAG on WHISTLE
to clean it. Exit the close-up, so you can see Rosella again.
​
Use WHISTLE on Rosella, and she blows it… but nothing else happens.
Open your inventory again, and use Magnifying Glass icon on the
NECKLACE, then break a PEARL from the NECKLACE. Go back to your
Inventory window, and use PEARL with the WHISTLE. Now use
WHISTLE on Rosella again, so she blows it again. This time, a friendly
dolphin appears.
​
Climb onto the dolphin, and he’ll take you back to Tamir.
End of demo. Hope you enjoyed it.
