Monologues and Cut-Scenes
There are quite a number of monologues and cut-scenes in which Mina either speaks out loud, or you are able to view an animation or "storyboard" of something happening. Many clues are contained in these monologues and cut scenes, so pay careful attention to them.
Animated sequences can be aborted by pressing the space bar. However, be sure to use this method only if you are replaying something that you have already seen or heard, or else you may miss an important clue to solving one or more of the puzzles.
