The game interface is efficient and can be accelerated: double-click to speed up exits from scenes and left-click or press [Esc] to skip dialog sequences. Pressing [Esc] will skip cutscenes. The inventory area and the game menu are easily accessible at the bottom and top of the screen. There are only three saved-game slots for each chapter, so some manual file manipulation will be necessary if more are needed.
This walkthrough provides a shortest path through each chapter; other gameplay sequences, exploration and dialog can provide additional backstory elements. Inventory items are shown in bold text.

After Lina exposes the wall, a Mastermind puzzle is shown with a 9-digit keypad
Colors are displayed for the usual scoring of a solution: green for a correct
digit in the correct position, yellow for a correct digit in an incorrect
position, and red otherwise. Since an unlimited number of guesses is
apparently allowed, the puzzle can be solved by trial and error by entering 4
identical digits for each move in order to identify the correct set of
digits, then trying different orderings of the set. The correct answer is

is selected
Click on the Navigation book in inventory and page forward to Section 7, in which the "Star" and "Wave" symbols
are associated with the current time of 10:00 am
Return to the Runes area in front of the observatory and note that the same six symbols listed in the Navigation book and on the base of the observatory are repeated on the doors:
Zoom in on the Runes below and observe how pressing any of the three buttons at center (Swirl, Moon and Star) causes a ring with the corresponding symbol to be rotated around the six symbols above
Tree Wave Leaf Seed Root Sun
Using the associations above, start by aligning the Moon pointer with the Root symbol and the Star pointer with the Wave symbol:
Although somewhat in shadow, the Moon pointer is at the 8:00 clock position and the Star pointer opposite at 2:00
Next, note the position of the Swirl pointer, back out and press the stone Button at left
The corresponding symbol on the doors is depressed and darkened, as noticed by Bwana
Keeping the Moon and Star pointers where they are and being careful to press only the Swirl button, incrementally rotate the Swirl pointer and press the Stone button each time to depress the rest of the six symbols on the doors
When complete, an altar is raised in the middle of the Runes circle, from which you can pick up a human-shaped Idol

Pick up the Clock from the floor, which is stuck at 6:42
Return to the storeroom and examine the CCTV machine, which has a date readout of 05 July
Making the reasonable assumption that the readout indicates the current date, the professor must have been abducted some 16 weeks earlier, which is a lot different than the 2 weeks a well-informed reporter would be expected to know. But she must be wrong somehow...
