• The Dream Machine contains random elements in most of the puzzles. Don't worry, you would be properly warned in advance.
  
  
• Check the game settings. There are some useful options (aside from handy hotkeys) that you can set-up. Ie. interaction indicator that marks all interactable objects if you press SPACE.
  
  
• Story related achievements (you can't miss them) would be presented at the beginning of each chapter.
  
  
• It is highly recommended to save often. There are some moments that you could skip resulting in missing achievements or (most importantly) dialogs. Also the game could crash/freeze. Autosave is lifesaver but not a panacea.
