  28. Game Rules I • Brake for windmill: push lever in room 1, brake → off • Windmill lever: if brake = off, and lever pushed, windmill → on UXGV: Attractors

  29. Journey Cloths • The Journey cloths are collected and the last Journey cloth that is touched in a particular age becomes the return location to that age. UXGV: Attractors

  30. Game Rules II • Cloths (7) collect to progress to next narrative state. • Cloth locations: • Behind sign at start • Side of Trailer • Dinosaur bones • Room 3 on wall • Room 2 on wall: windmill = on & combination = correct & blue com = pushed • Room 2 on door: windmill = on & door 2 = closed & door 1 = open • Water bucket: brake = off & foot pedal = pushed • If Cloths ≡ 7, and click on tree, go to next narrative state UXGV: Attractors

  31. Game Rules III • Message in room 3 • Wall puzzle: enter in combination; press button • Yisha comes to life and tells a message • at this time room cloth appears on wall UXGV: Attractors

  32. Game Rules IV • Water bucket contraption: Lever of the bucket must be pressed and then water bucket will move down, iff the windmill is on. UXGV: Attractors
