The controls of this game are abysmal. Does anyone have a clue as to how one can interact or even find a falling dreamer? I am standing at the abyss with Zoey waiting patiently for the dreamer to fall. A you tube video shows when the white light floats down and you click on it a circle appears with a hand allowing you to grab it. That's all well and good but it ain't happening here. There is no opportunity to do any of that. Without youtube I'd have no idea that is supposed to happen since I can't interact with anything beyond looking at it.

If anyone has figured this out please advise. I can't even get started. So the "Setting" section list a few controls, very few I might add with no information. There is no manual offered by any source I can find. The countdown to uninstall has begun because the frustration level is beyond acceptable limits.

When you select an object or a character, you have multiple abilities (four). The ability on the bottom slows time, so you have to use that first when at the abyss; after that, you are able to select the ability on the right to catch them. Otherwise, the falling dreamer move too quickly to catch.

How do you select an object or a character? When I right click on an object say the monitor by the bed, or the chart or anything else I get no choices. I only get Zoey describing object. If I left click Zoey moves nothing happens with the object. Pressing V gets a closeup view but makes no difference. Pressing the spacebar does nothing Pressing F does nothing. The clowns who made this game provide zero information.

What am I supposed to do to get multiple abilities? Is this a bad download where something is missing? No one is posting any problems at Gog. The game looks fine nothing to indicate there are problem.

Richard I cannot see the mouse as I sweep across the screen until it hits an object. Once I see what might be a falling dreamer it is gone. Clicking the F does nothing

I checked youtube and what's happening here is at the bottom of that light saying dreamers there is supposed to be a trigger named trapped dreamers. You click on that and then the falling starts.

I'm not getting the trapped dreamers link it is not appearing so the expanded selection is not activated. I'm not going anywhere in the wreck of a game.

The issue is the trigger that allows you to click on Trapped dreamers is not there. It does not show up so I cannot initiate the puzzle. The Dreamers do not come down until you click on trapped dreamers command. You can't do that when it's not there.

**Edit This may help somebody else. As I said the command telling me where Trapped Dreamers were did not show even though I knew where it was supposed to be. Either a bad install or something else.

I uninstalled the game got a new download at GOG and reinstalled. I did two things so I'm sure what did it. (1) New install still did not show. (2) I turned on subtitles and it showed. Subtitles are off by default. That's too weird if that's what the problem was. When I did that it worked. So maybe we can play the game now because the dreamer is rescued. But all day messing with this is enough. Thanks for trying to help. This stuff can drive you nuts.
