Take a closer look at the poster on the wall. It’s actually contraption that’s not working quite right. Use common gestures to zoom in close and pan across the contraption in order to figure out how to make it work. Objects that can be interacted with will be highlighted in blue when zoomed in on. Read the instructions on the machines and listen to the sounds in order to purchase grain, start the mill, and, eventually, bake some bread.

If you’re into casual puzzles, download TraptionBakery today. There’s really nothing like it. Just try not to get discouraged.

There isn’t much hand holding int he game. It’s really up to you to figure it out.
