This is a very minimal walkthrough; I will probably release another version soon with more in it. I believe that this 155 point walkthru is the shortest way to get through the game. I warn you, if you want to see what you missed when you played the game, this is not for you. If you are stuck on one puzzle, try posting to RGIF instead.
