On the other side of the river (Windows) from mobygames.com
The waterfall - Sam is always enthusiastic about rapids, waterfalls, geysers, and Otto not so much... (Windows) from mobygames.com
...King, however, enjoys risky rides as much as Sam, especially now that he can move again and no longer has a reason to be depressed. (Windows) from mobygames.com
And that's the other solution for the flashlight. Now, having played more of this game, I know it well. It's actually not difficult as an arcade game... (Windows) from mobygames.com
...rather as a puzzle game, until you get used to comparing the gears to the correct one. The new gear simply has to look like the smaller one already installed in the mechanism. (Windows) from mobygames.com
Parts of the mine track go outside of the mine - here Sam & King are riding almost next to the well. (Windows) from mobygames.com
Can you find a sock in this picture? And it's a screen where King doesn't pause, you need to grab a sock (if it's here) while moving. (Windows) from mobygames.com
Learn how to play Cheese & Crackers so that you can play it with Darkness later. (Windows) from mobygames.com
Inside the outhouse. If the flashlight is there, you have to wait until you can get it, still it's a disappointingly simple puzzle. Now I definitely prefer the other one. (Windows) from mobygames.com
The other solution again. At first it's dark behind the number wall, you need to turn on the electricity. (Windows) from mobygames.com
Since Darkness is a personification of Sam's anxieties, his room looks much like Sam's. In some gameplay variants they have two socks of a pair in the same place. (Windows) from mobygames.com
