Dreamfall help: "There's a message on my mobile."

The controls for Dreamfall are dreadful!

Anyway, I have spent 30 minutes...trying to pick up Zoe's phone. I look at it, it's right on the chair, and she keeps saying "There's a message on my mobile."

HOW DO I PICK IT UP AND STOP IT FROM RINGING.

thanks.

LOL!

I don't remember having had trouble picking up the phone... you just have to walk over to it, face it, and you'll get the option to pick it up. Actions are context-based; if you're focused on an item you can look at, pick up, use, etc., it will give you the option to do those things at the proper time.

I agree that the controls are not very good in Dreamfall, although you get more used to them as you play. I still say point-and-click is the most intuitive way to play an adventure game.
