Having fun with this game, though I ran into a glitch I think I will have to replay the game to fix. (spoilers)

From Anna's walkthrough, after you investigate Tobin's room and get his mom's blessing to look for him, one of the statues is supposed to let you activate it's switch. Then you can ask the Pig King for his blessing. However, when I played it, the statue never activated. I have no idea what I might have done, since no one else seems to have had this issue. I plan to replay the game another day and hope I don't mess up the variables this time.

Ha, that's really strange. The only thing I can think of is - if you investigate the room before you know you need a mother's blessing (so before you examine the statues or before Helga translates the symbols for you), the player character doesn't ask Masha for her blessing after the flashback cutscene. You then have to talk to her again once you know what you need from her, and she will give you her blessing.

If this doesn't work, then it's probably really a bug. Let me know how it played out, thanks for reporting!

Or maybe - and sorry if this is insultingly obvious, just making sure - you're clicking the statue's mouth, right? :)

I have talked to Helga many times, but I never had an option to have her translate the symbols, nor can I find a spot on the statue to examine the symbols. I must have missed something that activates that discussion? That is probably why the mother's blessing is not working.

No need to worry about "insultingly obvious" questions. I've uploaded some games myself and you can't know if something was missed/broken unless you ask :)

Ok, let's see if we can crack this :)

- right-click either one of the statues. You memorize the symbols.

- talk to Helga. You tell her about the statues and try to describe the symbols, but she wants you to show them to her more directly.

- use the stick (found in front of Tarik and Masha's house) on the patch of sand in front of Helga. You draw the symbols and she tells you they mean "mother's blessing" and "king's blessing".

- now talk to Masha. If you have examined the room, she should give you her blessing.

- this should also allow you to visit the king once you get a "royal" seal. Otherwise the clerk doesn't let you in, you must first state the reason of your visit, which is to ask for the king's blessing.

Right click! That was what I did not think to do. I skipped past the instructions quicker than I should have and did not notice I could right click on items until about halfway through the game and there are apparently some places I had not thought to investigate yet. I will go right click the statues.

Finished the game today. Thank you for your help.

No problem, hope you had a good time!
