Rach
:Enough of the here I am crap, how the hell do you play/what do you do? I take it it's some sort of morse code with the paper and possibly the bells.. but what?
Lady_Mustang
:Well, I hope some one figures it out soon, cause I have all these freakin papers, and don't know what to do with them
Charmer
:Don't worry about the papers, it's ordinary morse code for which you can find tons of web pages to translate. If you don't know anything about musical notes it may behoove you to gather those into one place

by the bell towers
. They do not need to be carried around at all.
From May's main website is a very good (though sometimes frustrating!) hint system for Return. These will give you clues as to what to do.
Just remember May is the same guy who put out the Dark Room and Dark Complex -- so figuring out what to do is half the fun/pain.
Gustave
:If anyone can help me that would be great...i got through one of the doors but have no idea what to do once i'm in there. any help is appreciated.
Xyza
:I spent half the day searching out hints for this game, now I've opened all three doors, and am stuck in them. The bell towers are hard if you are not musical but then so is another puzzle for much the same reasons ... I'm almost tone deaf *bang head*
Was shocked these weren't on here before today though.
Michelle
:Okay, so far I've finished the tilting palm puzzle, the buoy puzzle and the bell puzzle. I'm having a bit of trouble distinguishing between the crystal noises, and I have no idea what else to do. Anybody have any bloody ideas? The in game hints aren't working so well. I don't know what to dig with, and I sure as heck can't find any binoculars!
Michelle
:Wow, I feel dumb. Got the doors open, and I'm going to go explore now...
Gustave
:Does anyone know where to dig? Now that i can dig the map doesnt make any sense to me. i cant find anywhere where the "landmarks" look right.
Michelle
:In regards as to where to dig:
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Go to the islands with the anchors. The island you will dig in is the plain sand one just behind them (not the one with the skeleton or the bottle
.
Does anyone know how to solve the freaking star obelisk in that stone world? It is driving me up the wall! I can't figure out where I've seen the symbol on top before, or what to do with the lit up stars/twinkling stars. Help!
Lady_Mustang
:Thanks Charmer, I will go drop them somewhere
Gustave
:To do the star obelisk you have to light up the grave markers then look up...let me know if you need any more help.
Gustave
:If anyone knows about the oragami and fruit any help would be great...it's the only thing i have left to do (i think)
Parallel_structure
:Gustave,
figured out the marker / obelisk connection. and think i've got the answer. but can't correctly translate it back to the obelisk. i've tried so many patterns ;-)
please help.
Michelle
:I've figured out the grave marker/sky connection, but I can't seem to figure out how to transfer that to the obelisk. Any help would be appreciated.
BTW, the oragami/fruit thing is driving me nuts as well. I'm looking for patterns upon patterns upon patterns and am coming up with jack.
This is fun, but frustrating! :)
Parallel_structure
:michelle, gustave,
Solution to origami / fruit puzzle is on nordinho.net

Michelle
:Parallel_structure:
Thank you so much! That was driving me crazy! Still not quite sure what it means, but I'm at the point where I just want to solve it now! :D Once again, thanks for the link!
Gustave
:i dont know if this spoiler tag is gonna work
‹spoiler› i wonder ‹/spoiler›
Gustave
:well i guess it didn't work...and i dont really want to give everything away so for those who need help there are a lot of helpful comments and spoilers at

Parallel_structure
:gustave,

Rhitard

Johanna
:Hi!
Can anybody help me with the bell towers. I've been listening to the sound example and yet i cant get it working. I'm I supose to click on the buttons ones or twice? I meen should I just leave the bells to ring or shuld I turn it off before I click on the next one?
Please help me.
Johanna
:...and after clicking on the four towers do I have to click on the trianglebutton to finnish the puzzle? I've tried everything.
Kimbo
:Johanna,
HINT: (click box to highlight/fade)
Below the triangle button there is a series of musical notes that form a rhythmic pattern.
Ash
:for the stars, they make a cross pattern. light up all but the corners.
Ash
:for the bell towers click the first one (you onky need to do it once), then delay the 2nd tower by just a moment. the third should follow the 2nd imediatly, and the forth should follow the third. yes you must click the triangle after doing all of this.
Izzy(:)I)
:What the hell do u do??? please help me i have no idea!!!it Rubbish!!!!!:(
Xyza
:Try reading everything that was posted before you, there's loads of help.
A bad workman always blames his tools btw :)
Crila
:Why can't anyone give any decent clues? I've read everything that was posted before this and it's not very helpful at all. I don't even know where to start. I've read everyone's clues and it's incredibly frustrating, because it's all in code.
How can you dig? How is the morse code helpful? What is the significance of 1014. I've been staring at it for an hour.
Guest
:I am stuck on the 1014 switch. I've followed the "hints" from the website and here, but for some reason I'm still not getting it to work. I know what it is suppose to be, is there a puzzle that I am suppose to complete before this one?
Stevio
:Please please please, help me with those bloody bells
I can't even work which bell to start first or how long to wait before hit the next one

:when i click on the link the page says"Bandwidth Limit Exceeded
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later" WTF!
Guest
:Rey,
I guess that means that the Bandwidth Limit is exceeded, and the server is temporarily unable to service your request, due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit, and that you should try again later... but I could be wrong of course!
Helpless in paper
:Help i cant find all the puzzle pices on the paper world of spell corectly. dose anyone knoy were all four of them are?
Hint on the friut tree puzzle in that world:
the animals group up into two grops of three
group one the animals facing there firuts
group two animals that are composed of triangle bodies
one animal is in both grups that goes in the center the others are plaset acording to the real world oreintation to the odd one out
a further hint is that the stump of symbols has two lines so the animals mus have two smialarites.
Filip
:Switch 1014.
HINT: (click box to highlight/fade)
