Ya know, I like Myst type puzzles pretty well and all, and I suspect a lot of clues found elsewhere will need to be remembered to solve them, but I hope they also decided to focus a little on more item based puzzles. You know, like, "Hi, I'm Waldorf the Boatsman. I enjoys the high seas and would be happy to escort you to the island, but currently my boat is stuck. If I had a crane I could move it..." And then you find the crane, but you need the key to start it, which can only be found inside a clock which you need to solve a weird riddle just to open, or use the hammer. Then, like right after that, you hear someone say "hey what was that noise?" since you had to sneak into someone's attic just to get to the ONE clock in town :D, and now you have to find an item to use as a distraction fast or be thrown out and have to break in all over again.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
