The Mystery of the Nautilus Hints
Moving about the screen
Movement in "The Mystery of the Nautilus" is done through panning around on any screen, and then clicking on places where a forward arrow shows that movement is possible. You progress through the game through a combination of screen-to-screen movement, and 360-degree panoramas, or "VR"s. (Also be sure to look up and down; some things may only be found if you expand your searching!) Be careful that you don't make yourself dizzy by spinning around too much! Watch for hints from the cursor icon. It will help you determine where you can (and can't) go, and what you may interact with.
