When the 360 degree free view option is disabled, arrows are displayed at the edges of the screen in certain locations so that you can look left, right, up and down. The walkthrough has been written while playing in this mode as it is easier to give instructions on the exact movements that need to be taken.
When the 360 degree free view option is enabled, in certain locations you will be able to hold the right mouse button down and then move the mouse to look around. You can also use the arrow keys to look around as well.
The aim in the hidden object scenes is to find a number of the same type of objects that are displayed on the list. For example, you may need to find twenty-five components or twenty recorders.
