• Watch for the changing cursor, it indicates clickable areas.

• You won't need to combine objects.

• Have fun!

• Bleak and snowy, isn't it?

• Turn left.

• You are now facing a copse of five trees. Notice that you can click on the grey rock to lift it, but there's nothing underneath.

• Look closely at the second tree from the left. There's something behind it.

• Click on the trunk of the second tree from the left for a close up.

• Gee, a depressed snowman.

• Hey, his bottom button doesn't match.

• Click on the bottom button to take it. That's not a button, that's a 10 yen coin!

• Back up.

• Turn left.

• Look, a path! Before we go exploring, though, let's make sure we found everything here.

• Turn left.

• Okay, there's a big ice formation by the boulder, but we can't do anything with it right now.

• Turn right.

• There's a path leading towards who knows where, and what looks like a pond through the trees to the right of the path.

• Click on the pond.

• Gee, the pond is frozen. And hey, here's another grey rock we can lift that has nothing underneath.

• There's a tree stump to the right in the distance that can be clicked on. Let's click on it.

• Oh look, that may be another snowman hiding behind the tree. Click on the tree to the right.

• Wow, a blue fez snowman.

• Take the stick that is leaning on the snowman.

• Back up three times until you are at the head of the path.

• Hover your mouse over the path until an arrow appears. Click on it.

• Now you're on the path with a house on the left.

• On the left is another ice formation. Still can't do anything with it.

• Oh look, another grey rock on the right. Let's click on it.

• This time, there's something underneath! Take the coin.

• Let's click on the house, shall we?

• Of course it's locked. Back up.

• Hey, there's a fallen tree to the right of the path. Let's click on that.

• Nice, there's a coin on the ground. Take it.

• Is that a chick on the stump?

• A very shy chick, since it runs away.

• Back up.

• Go ahead and go further down the path.

• Goody, another grey rock. Nothing underneath this time, though.

• What is that green wriggly thing up in the left tree?

• We can't reach it from the ground, let's poke it with the stick!

• Is that a snake eating a chick? Click on it for a close up.

• Poor chick, no wonder the other one is so shy.

• Look closely, there's a silver coin on the ground to the left of the snake. Take it.

• Hmmm, hitting the snake with the stick doesn't make it let go.

• Back up.

• What's that dark grey thing at the end of the path? Click on it.

• Okay, it looks like an altar that needs a star. Nope, don't have one of those.

• Let's back up to the beginning of the path. Back up three times.

• Maybe we could break the ice on the pond with the stick? Click on the pond.

• Well, that doesn't work. Hey, what is that in the distance on the tree stump?

• Click on the tree stump on the right for a close up.

• Aw, a kitty cat. A mercenary kitty cat who wants 80 yen for a baby chick. Gee, we have just that amount.

• Give the coins to the cat and take the chick.

• Lift up the mat the chick was sitting on.

• Sweet, a key! Bet it's to the house.

• Take the key and back up twice.

• Go down the path once and click on the house.

• Use the key on the door. Success!

• Go inside.

• It's kinda dark in here.

• Turn right twice.

• Hey, there's a light switch by the door. Click on it.

• Uh oh.

• At least you're out of the cold.

• Turn right.

• Hey, a picture of a snowman! Click on the picture for a close up.

• This looks like a happy snowman. We haven't seen one like this.

• Click on the picture again and it will move to reveal a color device.

• We don't know what to set it at, so let's leave it for now.

• Back up.

• Open the left cupboard and retrieve the Christmas tree ornament.

• Open the middle drawer. What is that? Click on it for a close up.

• Okay, salt and pepper. Let's take the pepper.

• And we can't open the right cupboard, maybe it's stuck.

• Turn right.

• What is that white thing outside the window? Could there be a snowman hiding at the back of the house?

• Click on the pillows one at a time. Underneath the left pillow is a stocking ornament.

• Take the cake in case you get hungry.

• Turn right.

• Well, there's a picture of our old friend, the depressed snowman.

• Click on the picture for a close up and click on it again. Yup, another color code thing.

• Another chick! Maybe you can gather enough to start your own KFC franchise...

• Could there be anything underneath this cabinet?

• Click underneath the left side of the cabinet.

• A star ornament. Festive!

• Back up and turn right.

• Look, there are indentations in the wall around the door that fit the three ornaments you found.

• Place the ornaments in their matching indentations.

• Well, at least you can leave now.

• Go out the door.

• Let's check out that snowman that may be hiding behind the house.

• Click on the back of the house.

• Yep, there's the happy snowman. And an ice axe!

• Take the ice axe.

• You know, each of these snowmen seems to have a distinct color pattern to their buttons.

• Back up twice and you are on the path again.

• You know, that shy chick over by the fallen tree might be hungry in this cold weather.

• Click on the fallen tree to the right.

• Click on the chick to make him run away.

• Place the cake on the tree stump.

• Maybe he'll come out if you go away.

• Back up.

• Oh yeah, there's that ice formation. Let's hit it with the ice axe!

• Yay, a key!

• Where did we see another ice formation?

• Back up.

• Turn left.

• There's that big ice formation. Let's hit it with the ice axe several times.

• A frozen chick!

• Take the poor frozen chick.

• Turn right.

• I bet that key would work on that locked cabinet in the house.

• Go forward and click on the house.

• Go in.

• Hey, it's the mercenary cat! Is he...drooling?

• Turn right.

• Use the key on the locked cabinet.

• Another color code thing!

• Maybe it has something to do with the buttons on the snowmen.

• Do you remember what the buttons for each of the snowmen looked like?

Spoiler

• The first click turns a knob red, the second turns it blue, and the third click turns it yellow. Four clicks turns it back to grey.

• The depressed snowman had three red buttons in a straight vertical line.

• The blue fez snowman had two yellow buttons and two blue buttons underneath.

• The happy snowman had two blue buttons, then below that a yellow button, then below that a red button, in a kind of "Y" formation.

• Let's set the color code thing for the blue fez snowman in the same pattern as his buttons.

• Back up, click on the depressed snowman picture, then set the color code in the same pattern as his buttons.

• Back up, turn right twice, and set the happy snowman code in the same pattern as his buttons.

• If you entered the codes correctly, a trapdoor should open up in front of the cupboard where the happy snowman painting is hanging.

• Go down to the cellar.

• Keep going down until you reach the bottom.

• Turn right.

• Look, a drawing of five trees, and an icon that indicates that there's a chick in the fourth tree from the left.

• Turn right.

• A Treasure chest! Darn, it's locked.

• Don't go into the dark, you might get eaten by a grue.

• Turn right.

• Take the fishing pole. Turn right.

• Go up the ladder.

• Let's go back outside and find that chick!

• Go out the door.

• Back up all the way to the head of the path (two clicks).

• Well, there's five trees.

• Let's hit the fourth tree from the left with the stick!

• As soon as the chick appears, click on it. If you miss, hit the tree with the stick again.

• Turn left.

• Click on the pond for a close up.

• Let's see if the ice axe can break the ice on the pond.

• Hit the pond with the axe twice until you have water showing.

• Time for fishing!

• You'll see the bobber getting pulled in part way. Wait until you see it get totally submerged then quickly click on the fishing pole.

• Yay, a fish!

• Take the fish and back up.

• Go forward once.

• Let's check on the shy chick, shall we?

• Click on the fallen tree to see the shy chick.

• Well, it's still running away, but does it seem fatter?

• Back up.

• Go into the house.

• That cat looks hungry, let's leave him the fish.

• Place the fish on the cat and leave the house.

• Back up once to the path, then go forward.

• Oh yes, the poor chick being eaten by the snake.

• Click on the snake for a close up.

• Well, the ice axe doesn't seem to work on the snake either. Let's try the pepper.

• Use the pepper on the snake twice and he will spit out the chick.

• Back up.

• Pick up the chick. You should now have four regular chicks and one frozen chick.

• Back up and go back to the house.

• Hey, where'd the cat go?

• Turn left.

• Looks like the cat opened the cupboard.

• Open the other cupboard door on the right cupboard. A doughnut!

• Take the doughnut and go back outside.

• Back up all the way to the head of the path.

• Maybe the cat went back to the pond?

• Click on the pond.

• Yep, there's the cat in the distance. Click on the cat for a close up.

• Dinnertime! Hey, are those matches on the ground?

• Take the matches.

• Place the frozen chick by the fire.

• Once the chick is thawed then take it.

• Back up to the path.

• Go forward once and then click on the fallen tree to check on the shy chick.

• Once the chick has run away place the doughnut on the tree stump, then back up twice.

• Go forward again and click on the fallen tree.

• That chick has gotten really fat.

• Click on the chick and he will run away again, but this time he won't fit into the tree.

• Take the chick.

• Back up.

• Go back into the house.

• Turn left and go down into the cellar.

• Turn right twice until you are facing the treasure chest.

• Go into the dark.

• Use the matches for a light.

• Pick up the note at the bottom left of the scene. Seven chicks and a star, huh? I'm guessing it means the altar at the end of the path.

• Go forward.

• When the chick flies away take the key from his nest.

• Back up twice.

• Use the key to open the chest.

• Take the star.
