Introduction

You will receive an achievement for starting the game The adventure begins....

Once you are in the spaceship, look to the right and focus on the scroll. After the video display finishes, click on the scroll, then drag up the top right corner and take the mysterious key. Examine this in your inventory, and drag the glowing disc to the far right.

Next look down at the left arm rest and insert your key, then rotate it. After the sphere appears, look down and take the mysterious key again. Examine the key and adjust it so the end looks like an X. Insert the key into the sphere and rotate it. Now press the white button on the sphere Welcome aboard!.

New Horizons

After automatically trying to use your walkie-talkie, pick up the metal stick from the ground. Look at the sparking light near the floor and use your metal stick here to remove the cover, then take out the round box. Examine this in your inventory - rotate the orange cover and take out a crystal.

Go back to the middle of the room and take the letter (1/10) from the podium. Look at the right side of the podium and click on the dirt - you will bring out your air duster. Use this to clean the dirt. Now push the central part of the mechanism down and slide the latch at the top to the right. Open the box by sliding in the 2 semicircles to the middle, then lifting the lid. Put your crystal in the right side of the box. Now you need to rotate the 6 rings so the blue lines match up with the scorch marks in the lid. From the starting position, rotate the rings from left to right as follows:

• Up 1 time
• Up 1 time
• Down 2 times
• Down 2 times
• Down 2 times
• Up 1 time

On the top of the podium, spin the blue handle to open the iris and reveal another scroll. After the video stops, press the large red symbol and a floor panel will open behind you. You need to press the large gears here to slide the central bar up - press them in this order: left, right, left, left right. Looking at the circuitry, use your air duster to clean it. Now rotate the orange covers so you can take out the broken energy rod.

Back out and look at the left side of the podium. Push the central part of the mechanism down and slide the latch at the top to the right. Once the box slides out, rotate the top disc so the opening is at the top. Now you can take out the energy rod. Look back at the discs and rotate the top one so the opening is at the bottom. Slide the rectangle up to the top disc, then rotate the bottom disc so its opening is at the bottom. Now you can take out a strange disc.

Go back to the floor panel and insert the energy rod where you removed the broken one earlier. You now must adjust the circuit to get power to the 3 nodes on the right. Adjust the orange blocks as follows:

• Top Slider: Move to far left
• Left Slider: Move to middle
• Right Slider: Move to far right
• Left Rotator: Point up and down
• Right Rotator: Point right and down
• Bottom Rotator: Point up, right and down

You will automatically return to the scroll. Rotate the concentric rings here to create a continuous path between the two nodes on the left. Go over to the locked door and use your strange disc on the lock. Rotate the disc until you can see 3 lights through it. Adjust your mysterious key to show a diamond shape. Insert the key into the lock and rotate it. You will enter the corridor Hello Saturn.

Look at the silver dome on the left, then focus on the screw on its front. Use your screwdriver here, adjusting the settings to match the pattern on the screw. Drag the slider up to open the dome. On the puzzle that is revealed, slide the silver covers out of the way and slide the blue pieces over the matching red symbols. Now put your walkie-talkie into the slot that appears.

Once the next puzzle with a waveform appears, you need to adjust the three segments of the waveform so the heights match the path of the moving circle. Once you are successful, retrieve your walkie-talkie. Turn around and go to the opposite machine, and insert your walkie-talkie on the left. This will reveal another puzzle inside an opened drawer, but you can't solve it yet.

Back out and press a small wooden panel behind the walkie-talkie to reveal a new device. Slide the 4 pairs of panels to the sides so the central red board is visible, then slide this up and take the red light bulb. Press a similar small wooden panel on the right of this machine and another new device will appear. Once again, slide the wooden panels around so you can eventually slide the red board to the far left and take another red light bulb.

Return to the puzzle in the drawer and insert your 2 light bulbs to complete the circle of 10 light bulbs. You need to activate some of the light bulbs to recreate the pattern shown on the scroll above:

Now press the dark red button in the middle of the light bulbs. A second drawer will open with a new puzzle, and a key will fall to the floor. Take the key and examine it in your inventory. Straighten the bent pin at the large end of the key, then turn the dial at the smaller end of the key to align the bright orange marks. Now insert the key into the empty slot in the puzzle in the drawer.

Look at the dirty panel to the right and clean it with your air duster. Rotate the discs so they are aligned, and a lever will roll out below. Pull this, and a large pipe organ will open up.

Now take the lens. Back out and look at the puzzle at the top-right of the pod. Use your lens here, then drag it around to see hidden images on the 9 tiles. Click on the tiles that don't match the pattern until they are all correct. Now you can take a metallic item. Back out and look at the puzzle at the bottom-right of the pod. Slide the bottom panels outwards, then the top panel down and pull open the drawer. Pick up the mysterious cylinder.

The pod will now close. Look at the small wooden panel near the main part of the room. Slide the top and bottom sections apart to reveal controls for a crane. There are 3 levels to this puzzle - in each one you need to move the tiles around to draw a line from the bottom to the target, and place the target over the white circle:

The crane will pick up a pod and bring it to the station on the right. Examine the panel on the right of the pod, and use your screwdriver on it. Adjust the screwdriver settings to match the pattern on the screw. Once the panel slides open, insert your metallic item into the empty slot. Now drag each of the 4 small devices into the corners of the panel, by rotating the holders as necessary, making sure the arrows on the devices are all pointing outwards. The cover of the pod will slide open.

Examine the bottom of the screen to the right of the pod, and use your drone controller on the small green drone symbol. Follow these instructions:

Pull down the handle that appears on the right, and the gravity in the room will change. Take the black rectangular mechanical device from next to the handle. Examine this in your inventory, and rotate it around to look at the back. Rotate the thin ring first so the blue sections are at the top and bottom. Next slide the vertical silver bar down into the ring. Rotate the ring 45 degrees so the 4 squares around the edges turn blue.

Go back to the moving platform and press the right orange button to descend again. Look at the panel on the floor to the right and click to open it, then insert your mechanical device. Now you will see another puzzle. You must use the buttons to make the rings rotate in the other direction temporarily - the goal is to get the highlighted segments all aligned so they turn green.

You will now be floating in the middle of the room. Rotate the various points on the floating shape in front of you - all of the white lines should connect to other white lines or the white pentagon. Once successful you will see a new series of 3 puzzles. In this, you must rotate the rings so that the lasers hit the blue target (to disable barriers) and then white targets Take off!.

Fly-By

Go back out to the previous corridor and through the door at the end - you will end up returning to the first room of the game. Press the green button on the pedestal.

Departure

On the new scroll that appears, press the top-right green button. Once the panel opens, look just to the left of it to find the last letter (10/10) Space Man's Diary. Now examine the opened panel. Slide the horizontal bars to the sides, then rotate the circles so their slots are vertical. This will reveal another puzzle - the goal here is to move the golden pieces using the arrow buttons until they are on the 3 marked blue positions. The room will rotate and a helm will rise up from the floor.

Go back to the scroll and press the bottom-left green button. Rotate each of the 3 dials you now see until they glow blue, and they will all slide upwards. Take the magnetic disc, helmet and strange box from the 3 alcoves. Examine the strange box in your inventory, and rotate the faces to create continuous lines 3 times. You will end up with a glass sphere.

Look at the helm, then turn right and pick up a disk. Examine this in your inventory to see that it looks like a clock with 3 hands. Look at the back of the clock to see 3 marked positions, then adjust the hands to point to these - they will glow blue and become fixed in position. Return the disk to the slot where you found it, and you will automatically wear the helmet and go outside.

Look at the round puzzle in the floor here. Insert your magnetic disc in the middle. Rotate the inner and outer discs to move the metallic sliders in the various segments - when they are in the correct position they will glow white. Once they are all correct, a hatch will open. Pull open the doors here and a larger device will rise out of the floor. Insert your glass sphere in the bottom of this. Now you need to rotate the sphere (in 3 directions) so that the white lights line up with the blue circles.

The top section of the device will now be active. Drag this around until you can see 5 white stars in the middle, then rotate and zoom the display so the 5 orange circles match these 5 stars.

Head back inside the ship. You will see curved segments fly up towards the glowing targets, but they form incomplete rings. Use the helm, then turn the 2 wheels to focus on one of the incomplete rings. Now use the spikes on the helm to adjust the curved segments to form a complete ring. Repeat this with each of the 3 targets To infinity and beyond....
