The Messenger Hints
General Information
"The Messenger" is a traditional adventure game. Treat it as you would any similar game: pick up everything you can pick up; look for clues that relate to the puzzles you encounter; try everything; and save often.
Try everything that makes sense, then try things that don't. Interaction with objects will often be dependent on some particular action that you may or may not have already done. In other words, coming back to an object or person later in the game may provide additional interaction that was not available at that earlier point.
Be patient. Explore. "The Messenger" is extremely non-linear. You can move around and explore many different things, in many different orders. If you are stuck in one spot, move on to another.
