RealMyst Masterpiece on Steam

Hi all! I'm having a little problem with RealMyst. I'm in the Stoneship Age and have the trunk floating next to the chained key. For some reason, I cannot get the trunk unlocked. I've had a virtual clickfest with both the key and trunk (simple click, click, hold and drag). What am I missing? It has to be something simple.

Thanks!

I hope that another player familiar with this game will be able to help you. I looked at several walkthroughs and in terms of what you are trying to do it sounds rather straightforward.

There is a walkthrough here with pictures that might be of help.

What I read made it sound like a simple click should do the job.

I also searched around online to see if this part could be glitchy but couldn't find anything.

It's a puzzlement.

Thanks Marian!

Was a little busy and haven't gotten a chance to get back to the game. Let's just say when I started it up and went to the trunk and key, it only took one click and the key worked. Should have realized it was a minor glitch. Maybe because it's a Windows 10 computer.

Good to know it was just a temporary thing.
