Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints

Where can I go from here? It looks like a "dead" end.

  • 1 of 5: As well it could be if this were that kind of adventure game. However, you don't need to worry about falling and dying here.
  • 2 of 5: Instead, wave the cursor around to see if you can get any useful action icons.
  • 3 of 5: When you point the cursor at the wall to the right of the ledge you're on, you should get the "Position to Side Step" action icon.
  • 4 of 5: Click on it to go into side-step mode, then move along the tiny ledge to the right. (The Right Arrow movement key is handiest for this.)
  • 5 of 5: After you're safely on the fire escape, right-click to leave side-step mode.
