The Serpent of Isis: General Information
GENERAL TIPS:
- There are 2 modes in the game; timed an "untimed". The game will start your profile in timed mode unless "untimed" mode is selected before playing the game. Start a new profile should you change your mind and want to play in "untimed" mode. Make the "untimed" selection in the Create a New Player/Start a New Game screen.
- Should you play the timed mode and the hidden objects haven't been found and the quests completed; you'll have to start that chapter over from the beginning.
- There are 3 types of hints included in the game.
- Hints included in the characters' conversations throughout the game.
- Magnifying glass icon hint gives you a highlighted circle area in which a hidden object is located.
- Wrench icon hint gives 1 hint at a time for a quest. You can have 2-3 different hints per quest.
- You can accumulate additional hints by locating the Suspect Items that are hidden in scenes. I highly recommend locating the suspect items. The suspect items are never listed on find hidden objects lists. See suspects' items locations below.
- You can incur a time penalty should you have about 20 selections consecutively that are incorrect.
- New locations will open up after locating hidden objects and/or when quests have been completed.
- You can visit opened locations as many times as you'd prefer unless all hidden objects and quests have been completed in that location...select the map button on the lower left side on the scene.
- Mini games and puzzles can be skipped incurring a 20 minute penalty to your total game time.
- Most scenes have 1 or more areas that will be highlighted/hot spots when your curser moves over them. These areas require additional actions to be taken.
- Use the flashlight often as many scenes have dark areas in which a flashlight can be used.
- Hidden object scenes have random items on the lists with the exception of inventory and quest items.
INVENTORY ITEMS:
- Inventory Items are used to locate other Hidden Objects or to complete quests.
- Most Hidden Object scenes have 1 or more items that will go into inventory/briefcase in the lower left of the screen.
SUSPECT ITEMS AND LOCATIONS:
- The Suspect card is in your inventory.
- Each suspect has a "favorite item" that can be located in the hidden object scenes that ARE NOT included in the lists.
- For each suspect item/favorite item you find, you'll receive 3 additional hints.
- When all the suspect items/favorite items have been located for each suspect, you'll receive extra time to complete the chapter you're playing.
- The text in the game spells the names of the suspects slightly differently.
