Finally got through to the wolf territory. I wonder why all wolf dens need to have a large pot of stew?

The puzzle where you need to follow a wolf reminds me of that puzzle in Monkey Island where you need to follow the storekeeper. I wonder if you can solve this puzzle if you don’t follow the wolf right away?

Strange Brew? Someone is a fan of the band Cream.

I hope to catch up this weekend, Diego.

PS: What the…

Much better now, thank you diego.
Sorry to be such a nuisance, but you know how much I hate spoilers.

I’m well into the second chapter. The puzzles seem to get better and better, great combination of old school and some original ideas. The game reminds me more and more of Toonstruck, with some slapstick comedy, cartoon sound effects and puzzle ideas.

This is now a “sidekick adventure” and I love those. I’m still not sure about Gwen - one missed opportunity is to use the owl on things in the game world, and you can’t do that - Finn will always tell you that he’s not a manipulative type.   So far the owl helps you automatically, but I love the company anyway.

Anyone know what happened to the key you collected in the wolf’s den? It just disappeared from the inventory after the cutscene. Great voice acting of the Bad Wolf, by the way, very convincing as the bad guy. Currently I’m stuck in the second chapter, I have the drill and I’m guessing I need to use it to drill the rock so Gwen can enter the cave.

I finally, finally made it to Chapter 2. One puzzle gave me a terrible headache. But the worst was finding a certain small object. I’m one hundred percent sure every single player on Classic Mode has problems finding this much needed thingie. Curse you, developers! Nah, just kidding. I love this game. The writing and voices are excellent and Finn comes up with funny responses when you try using objects on characters and other objects.

I’m still behind you, diego, but can’t wait to play again. Highly recommended to players who like humorous adventures.

I gave up and installed the game because this thread had been intriguing me for so long. And I can already tell it exceeded my expectations: it looks and plays wonderfully, everything is very polished, it does have Kyrandian vibes (in addition to LucasArts and Sierra) — the peaceful forest, sea, caves, the sense of magic…

It’s also very responsive: I tried talking to trees, pushing/pulling strangers (“Pulling the tale is a very big taboo” in this world!), showing every item to every creature, and there’s often a unique response or comment. Also lots of pixel animations and tiny details to admire, even the way the deer is moving, well, like an anthropomorphic deer would is a nice touch. Such a nice, relaxing game.

Stuck in chapter 2 and I need a hint.

How do I get Gwen through the collapsed entrance to the mines? I have a shell, pearl, speaking tube, spade, more small stones, scarf (already used in the mountain), and the key for the lift

I’m stuck at the same place as you, and I have item in the inventory which you don’t, and which I believe is crucial in solving this puzzle:

the drill

but I still can’t use it, because it lacks certain kind of power. Let me give you UHS-like hints how to obtain the drill, because it’s a complex puzzle:

1) Good place to look for drill are machines.
2) Did you see some machine which has hands like drills?
3) It’s in the cave with the raccoon.
4) You need to chop its hands in order to get a drill
5) to do that, you need some kind of a saw, or at least something similar to it
6) Did you see some animal that can be used instead of saw, with its sharp teeth?
7) You need to get a piranha-like fish from the swamp
8 ) In order to catch the fish, you need some kind of a trap, more precisely, a jar
9) You can get the jar in the cave with the raccoon
10) To catch the fish, inspect the willow tree, and you’ll see the opening
11) Enter the swamp on the left, and put the jar in the opening
12) Then, enter the swamp on the right, and fish will enter the jar

Thanks for your help, diego. It’s hard to believe that a seasoned adventurer like me would make that mistake, but I forgot to revisit the grotto. Went everywhere else.

PS: The game suddenly burst into German when I looked at something.
