[Information and Trivia]

Managing

game soon after starting the game asks us to choose a difficulty level: Practice , Standard or Expert .

Practice: This would be the simplest way to play as each time a spell sounds the same notes on the screen.
Standard: normal game mode, it notes do not appear on the screen but light on his cane.
Expert: A real challenge and the need to sharpen the ear the most because in this way, the only information received will be the sound of the note.
Note: The 3 modes have in common that sounds a note when your color shines on the pole.

Control: control system is the classic Point and Click but for the inventory, is virtually nonexistent. You can only take two objects throughout the game.

Objects: The first is the old man's cane Atropos, which serves to interact with anything during the game. Whenever you want to open, close, or even clear something we'll use this stick with his spell in question.
The second object is the book of spells Hetchel, which is represented in reality as "The Book of Patterns" and accompanied the game in its original box. In this book are described the various spells that we find in the game, each accompanied by a small staff so that it can point blank if they are found.
Note: To observe the natural course of the game we must use the book when we find it actually in the game.

Weaving Spells: It's funny how in the book are targeted spells you will not find in the game. It is possible that they were thought to be discovered in one of the unfinished effects. When "weave" a spell over something, pointed to it and we'll play forever 4 musical notes are represented in the English musical notation system. Each musical note is associated with a corresponding tone of a color.



Spells Spells are like spells classic adventure games, but with the characteristic that Bobbin can use them as you wish, if it has a stick.

spells take the form of sequences of musical notes in the scale of C major. With the exception of "transcendence" and "open", the sequence the spell changes each time the game is played, and must be learned as part of the game. Bobbin initially is able to weave spells with the notes C, D and E (called "level 3" in this section.) Bobbin can often hear spells, but can not repeat because it lacks the necessary notes. As the game progresses, more notes are added to reach full scale (called "level 8"). Bobbin

aprendre sequences of letters spells in different ways, such as reading books or listening to others weave. The sequence of letters used in the spell can be played in reverse, and often produces the opposite effect to the original spell.
