Dark Side of the Moon Hints
General Information
Dark Side of the Moon is a traditional "adventure" game. Treat it as you would any similar game: pick up everything you can pick up (your inventory is limitless); talk to everyone you can talk to; ask all questions you can ask.
In addition, many objects interact with other objects. Try everything that makes sense, then try things that don't. Remember that interaction with objects is more extensive than in most games. Not only can the items in your inventory interact with places, scenes, or objects in the "game window", they can also interact with other items in your inventory, your VDA (video digital assistant), characters with whom you are talking, and even yourself (via the "figure" icon near the lower left of the screen).
Be patient. Explore. There is a great degree of non-linearity to the game, so don't worry about doing everything "in order". Learn to use your laser scanner pen; it will save having to write down detailed information that you may not be able to carry with you in your inventory.
