Jazz & Faust Hints
I keep getting stuck.
1 of 3: Forget about Myst, okay? This is a very linear game, as regimented in its way as any 2D scroller. That means you have to do action 1, then action 2, then action 3, in order to progress through the game.
2 of 3: To add to the confusion, the hotspots are unreliable. Sometimes you get to look at things that only the other character will interact with.
3 of 3: When you get stuck, try the usual: --> Talk to everyone, even people you already talked to. --> Search for hotspots (i.e., things to pick up or use, people to talk to, places to go). --> Use every inventory item with every person and thing with a hotspot. --> Come back here and see what you might have missed. --> And finally, considering doing things you might normally consider ... wrong.
