interaction rules	no interaction	user has to make every invisible light dot visible to complete scene scene auto completes after period of inactivity	(3 little pieces wobbly, 1 success point, lightness is calculated from movement, crossfading between icon, darkness triggers morph, lightning movie from beam to broad light) SOUND: 1 basis sound, 1 action sound happens on first click, user plays with slider bars to alter light intensity scene auto completes after period of inactivity	(mimic sound melody, first you hear melody, and see visual indication , mimic it. morphs indepently of actions, simon says like) scene auto completes after period of inactivity	user discovers place for hand sketches, drags elastic objects to morphing picture (some wrong, some good) scene auto completes after period of inactivity	divide painting into several areas, every little area can be rubbed through scene auto completes after period of inactivity	all pictures are on a sphere user grabs one and drags it into place, 1 success placement
short description	Slow the user down into 1885 Slow fades between title pages in order slow fade into movie oil lamp movie oil lamp fades into cursor flame	Discover the lines of the sketch and how they change with our actions with small cursor as lamp, follow the trail to discover more reward is text and sound with succesful completion of scene	with small cursor as lamp, play with three lighting effects to discover dramatic oil lamp lighting	play a musical game by following an ever longer sequence of notes, lighting up one head on the basic morph. then follow this with the cursor surprise effect is to introduce fifth character	to place hands in morph and drop into place when found reward is text and sound	discover the colour in the painting by rubbing through with oil lamp cursor effect rewarded by text build-up	Using colour images of porttraits watch them disolve into the painting when you place them, and be rewarded with finale of music and text.
