How It Begins

You're Troy Sterling, daredevil adventurer, carrying nothing, on the driveway near the house. In the Pratt Dynamo are Aloysius (he's a brilliant inventor and a loyal companion with a crusty exterior), an index card, some goggles, your favourite peaked riding cap and a scarf.

"Come on, Mr. Sterling... get in!" says Aloysius. "This is no time to delay!"

Notable Features

• The game is divided into four chapters. In chapters 1 and 3, you play as Troy Sterling, and in chapters 2 and 4, you play as Melody Sweet. Both have unique abilities and interpersonal relationships that they can use to solve puzzles.
