Doreen, thanks for the concern. I appreciate that.
Alastair, that's also a good way to obscure spoilers. Highlighting to read the text is easy enough I think.
Terri, it's good to know I have challenges ahead of me. Thanks for the help so far, I have been able to continue. I would like to try out some of your games; can you recommend one to start with?
My take on the matter is that hints are supposed to be exactly that - hints, not straight solutions. Perhaps it's just me, but if I've struggled with a puzzle for a long time, just getting a direct solution feels, well, a little flat. On the other hand, if a nugde will guide me in the right direction, solving it on my own in the end feels ever so much more satisfying.
Then again, I'm probably just being masochistic
Finally, Darius, welcome to the board. I'll see if there's some kind of clever MOD that will make the posting of hints easier.
Gunness, I agree with you wholeheartedly (except being masochistic, I think )
Thanks for the welcome. I hope I can bring something to the forum as well.
I had written another long-winded reply, but I lost it. Maybe it's better that way.
Now that the issue appears to be resolved, can we get back to helping each other out? Or playing along together?
Darius, you may want to try Peneless. Alastair, Doreen and I played it and I wrote the hints. Beware though, there are very specific hints there, including verbs, unecessary objects listed, etc. Nudges these are not. I would be curious whether, even with as direct hints as these are, whether you still will find the game challenging.
I'll be sure try out Peneless as soon as I solve Boyd File. Which genre is it by the way?
Talking about Boyd File, I would appreciate a vague hint about what to do inside the movie studios. I know how to get inside, but I'm not sure about what to do there (more than finding a couple of takeable objects in one of the rooms).
(Jacob, it looks like the url tags no longer work - I thought it was only new posters who were not allowed to use them.)

The objective is to rescue your beloved Penelope, it is set mostly in a wilderness, in the modern period (?), but with no high tech and some mysticism thrown in.
Thanks for the help. Am I correct to assume that I should only take the two objects and can then leave the movie studio? The rest is just "for fun", even the studio boss's office?
No, you cannot assume that. There is another location you must visit before leaving. Both of the objects you found (first go east) are necesary in the move studio.
