Anachronox Hints
I'm lost. Can you tell me how to get through this maze?
1 of 7: The passages generally tend to be color-coded, so you may be able to find your own way around by paying attention to the colors. If you need explicit directions, though, read ahead.
2 of 7: There are 6 different rooms on this ship. You don't visit the rooms in an exactly linear order, but I've tried numbered them in roughly the most logical order, starting of course with #1 for the room where you start. The exits are given in the order in which they are shown to you, starting with the one you see immediately after you're done shooting.
Room 1: blue passage to room 2 purple passage (initially blocked with a red forcefield) to room 5
3 of 7: Room 2: red passage to room 3 yellow passage to room 4 purple passage (red forcefield) "up" to room 5 purple passage (without a forcefield) "down" to room 1
4 of 7: Room 3 (red forcefield controls): blue passage to room 2 yellow passage to room 4
5 of 7: Room 4 (yellow forcefield controls): blue passage to room 2 red passage to room 3
6 of 7: Room 5: yellow passage to room 6 (initially blocked by yellow forcefield) blue passage to room 2 blue passage to room 1
