Isoland is the first in a series of fantasy adventures that begins on an isolated island in the Atlantic Ocean. As a researcher sent to investigate the island, you are now trapped and must explore the island and its secrets. To complete the game fully, you must play the game twice. The series continues with Isoland 2: Ashes of Time.

Round 1

Boat

Scroll right using the typewriter to view the introduction. After arriving at the island, follow the prompts to get off the boat, then return to it. Look at the items at the back of the rowboat. Pick up the key and use it on the lockbox. Read the letter inside, then close the box and make a note of the target symbol on the map (coordinates 20W, 40N). Leave the boat and head along the jetty. Continue forward to the lighthouse door. Set the four sliders according to the target symbol on the map earlier (20, W, 40, N). Go through the open door.

Lighthouse

Hit the plant 3 times, then pick up the cabinet handle. Look at the drawer on the right and use the cabinet handle on it, then take the pair of scissors from inside the open drawer. Back out, then go upstairs and talk to the man.

Climb up the ladder and pick up the shovel. Notice the portrait of the girl looking right, with the bottom-left dot highlighted. Go back down the ladder and notice the portrait of the boy looking up, with the top-left dot highlighted. Head downstairs and notice the portrait of the woman looking down, with the bottom-right dot highlighted, and of the man looking left, with the top-right dot highlighted. Examine the panel to the right of the door here. Adjust the 4 circles so they are lit up in the same direction as the eyes in the portraits:

  • Top-left: Pointing up
  • Top-right: Pointing left
  • Bottom-left: Pointing right
  • Bottom-right: Pointing down

Go through the open door to leave the lighthouse. Make a note of the symbol and number 2 on the back of the lighthouse, then proceed to the right. Click on the lizard on the rock here, and notice the symbol and number 5. Examine the temple door to see 8 buttons with eye symbols on them. Head all the way back into the lighthouse and up to the priest. Talk to him to get the correct pattern for the temple door. Go back to the temple door and set the buttons as follows:

Now head inside.

Temple

Notice the grid pattern on the left wall, then examine the top door. You need to allow all 4 blue lasers to pass through the puzzle without being blocked by the gold blocks - just move the solid blocks to the corners and adjust the others to allow the lasers through. Head through the open door. Pick up the arrow-shaped key and talk to the priest here. Look to the bottom right of the statue and notice the symbol and number 3. Return back out of the temple again.

Continue towards the top left. Use your shovel on the single bone and pick it up, then keep going forward. Use your scissors to get the red flower. Talk to the green dog while you are here. Return back and examine the door on the rocket. Drag the hexagonal tiles around to form continuous loops with the blue and yellow pipes. Now you can head inside.

Damaged Rocket

Grab the iron bucket. Use your arrow-shaped key on the suitcase, then take the hammer from inside. Now notice the pictures on the wall here (A flower, B bone). Go upstairs and examine the large metal box. Solve the picross puzzle as follows:

Now pick up the round star pattern. Return outside and go all the way back to the rear of the lighthouse. Continue left from here to find a beach. Talk to the Captain and notice the glass bottle with the numbers 1958.1215. Examine the box on the ground. You need to rotate the pieces to end up with the pattern you saw on the left wall in the temple:

Once solved, take the holy grail from inside the box. Now return to the temple and go inside

Temple

Fill both the iron bucket and holy grail with water from the fountain, then go through the top door again. Give the holy grail to the priest and keep talking to him to learn the code 37526. Back out and examine the bottom door. Click on the symbols so you show aliens with the correct numbers of eyes to create this code. Go through this door and pick up the knife, then leave again.

Head out to the beach and use the knife on the fish. Take the key from inside it, then return into the lighthouse.

Lighthouse

Go upstairs to the kitchen and use your iron bucket with water on the stove to put out the fire. Now take the iron pincers. Go up the ladder and use your key on the lock here. Look inside the mechanism, where you need to direct both lasers across the grid. Rotate the pieces to create concentric diamond shapes to achieve this. Once you are done, the lantern will be powered up. Leave the lighthouse and go to the beach - a boat will now have appeared since the lighthouse works. Board the boat.

Vessel

Examine the door to see it has a numerical lock. Talk to the Captain 3 times to work at the password is 1997, then enter this code to open the door. You will now get the Best Crew achievement. Head inside and pick up the adhesive tape and blue starfish. Go down the stairs and pick up the mystery stone (1/3). Read the red book all the way to the end and take the round moon pattern from the final page. Use your hammer to smash the glass bottle so you can take the strange blue object.

Leave the boat and return to the rear of the lighthouse, then look at the lightning symbol on the outside of the factory. Your goal here is to turn on all the lights, from this starting position:

Pick up the iron ball. Use your iron pincers on the lock, then open the panel and look inside. Use your adhesive tape to repair the wire, then back out and notice the numbers and colors on the display. Examine the grid on the far wall. You need to end up with the string of circles on squares of the same color. To achieve this, grab the final blue circle and drag it around the edge to the bottom right corner, then on to the red square and over all of the blue squares. Head through the open door into the dissecting room.

Look at the monster on the table. Insert your strange blue object into the hole in its chest. You will now get the Sea Monster Researcher achievement. Take the round sun pattern from the monster's mouth. While you are here, notice the pattern of blinking eyes on the monster. Leave the factory and return into the temple.

Enter the upstairs room and look in the bottom right corner again. Use your iron hook on the wooden boards, then grab the final mystery stone (3/3). Back out and place your strange stone carvings on top of the statue. You will now get the Priest achievement. Take the red pointer from inside the chest of the statue. Return to the pyramid.

Pyramid

Go upstairs and examine the clock. Use your red pointer on the clock to complete it. Now you need to turn the pointers to the correct symbols, based on the flashing numbers and colors on the display in the factory, and the mural on the wall in the temple. Click the buttons around the bottom to arrange them as follows:

  • Red Pointer: Up
  • Yellow Pointer: Left
  • Green Pointer: Down
  • Blue Pointer: Right

You will now get the Man of God II achievement. Pick up the black beads from the hole in the floor. Leave the pyramid and head left.

Go through the door and look at the picture of an alien with eight arms and eyes on the end of 4 of them. Back out for now.
