I pressed this rune about 173 times , looking not to miss pressing it on the exact pixel which will, hopefully, do something. The confusion grow bigger with the hint still telling me I need to go to the location where I was standing, and tackle the rune. Am I in for surprise, when only accidentally, after pushing it for few more times I got another location as a hint. But what did I do? And then, I’ve seen that it glows:

He He - Of course turning these runes on, was pretty much the only thing you could have done, while you were aimlessly wandering around... exploring the upper part of the academy.

SUDOKU! But I suck at sudoku! I tried to solve it fast, but failed miserably…

I was thinking more along the lines of the classic eight queens puzzle in chess. It is not completely identical but very similar (and much easier).

I don’t want to get yours hope down… but THAT is a nasty puzzle…

Now I can instead look forward to watching you match wits with the puzzle here at the upper part of the academy

Seriously I will be very impressed if you manage to solve this puzzle in less then 3 hours without using the hint system.

Hell just solving it, instead of having the hint system solve it for you will be enough to impress me, and more than I managed to accomplish.

Yeah, like the one that was in The Whispered World… I solved that one fast, even though I’ve heard some had troubles with it… and as for this one, as I said, it was easy once I put it in the “sudoku form”, like this:

Part 9: “Winter is Coming”

Is this supposed to be a hint?

Oh, not again…

I’m going down, down, down

I could have swore I’ve passed through these corridors already, but these rooms are completely new to me

Oh jolly… another mini-game! Zak tells us who is responsible for it:

Hmmm…

As yet, I’m not sure I understood how this game works. That’s not a reason not to play with it a little bit:

Leaving it for now, and revisiting Celeste’s room.

I KNEW IT! So, fiddling with that device above actually changes the weather! Can’t wait to try out the winter…

Now here’s an interesting puzzle involving flowers with different colors. However, I was playing with it for a minute, before:

on old ghost came back to haunt me.

Another new location I’ve discovered - a workshop!

I know where I’ll be hanging when the Winter comes…

Yet another puzzle, and

You guessed it! Zak, back to the drawing board…

I’m glad to see your back on the horse, I was beginning to think you had given up

Well at least you found them on your own, I completely missed this area until I used a hint to point me to it

Yeah this was also one of my favourite things
I even made some extra trips back and forth between the orb and the room, just to experience the different seasons and hear Lydia and Zak’s comments.

I guess I was a bit luckier than you regarding the order I did things in, after talking to the ghost I never got that annoying “You don’t have the proper prerequisites to continue”, well perhaps once but no more then that. It is only now I realised that I must have gotten lucky

Edit: Though in the case of the observatory I believe you are just forgetting something pretty obvious

There’s one useful rule I learned about Keepsake - when you’re stuck, ride the teleports until it brings you to a new location.

... You can also run across the school exterior.

I had a feeling art studio might hide something useful.

Unfortunately, I can’t seem to do anything at the moment in there.

Hey, that’s a nice view!

Die Hard, anyone?

(in Italian accent) Happy New Year from Mustavio!

(I’ve resumed the game, but I’m stuck & clueless at the moment, so let me get back to you )

Hehe… Mustavio is a man of (italian accent ON) MAANY talents!

BTW, where does your avatar come from, Becky? It looks like it could from Keepsake.

How long have you been playing Keepsake now, Diego? Are you doing it entirely without hints?

Not only without hints, but I’m not using the map in the upper part which is worse than not using hints

(actually, I was caught in the Broken Sword “momentum” and wanted to use it to replay and finally finish those games in the series I didn’t before. I played very little in the last few months, and that’s the reason I’m taking the epic approach with Keepsake and not that I’m hopelessly stuck&hardheaded; not to use hints, because I wouldn’t do so if I’m not enjoying the game )

It’s a detail from a painting of Dublin Castle, painted by a family member while visiting Ireland.

Looks great. I just hope your family member didn’t meet any goats on the way.
