Hi! Thanks for playing :)

Hint: Think about where you might find an animal that could produce milk..

Big hint: Make sure you've explored the whole screen at Mr Briden's farm :)

I've gotten access to the manor but have no idea how to recruit the workers!

Do you mean you don't know how to get cakes? Or at what stage exactly are you stuck?

I'm totally stuck shortly after this, any hints on how to convince the old lady to bake puddings.

nvm I've progressed a bit :)

The part I was stuck on was that I didn't talk to the grumpy lady in the gateway enough times! I stopped after she said to go away. Kinda upset about that one!

OMG, I had the EXACT same issue. I was kicking myself for hours once I resorted to a YouTube video to find out what was missing. It's like rule number one in Point and Click games that you talk to NPCs until they start repeating themselves. I talked to her twice, but you have to do it three times to progress.

LOL

I did the same thing! Felt stupid, but honestly also just ♥♥♥♥♥♥ design.

I actually don't mind it from a design standpoint, especially in a game that relies so heavily on exhausting dialogue to open up future possibilities. I thought it was actually a bit clever, because we are so conditioned by the genre to just click over and over again until we hear the exact dialogue again or are flat out shut down from talking to someone. It was like, for once, you would actually get rewarded for that tendency. I don't know what it was, but something about how completely dismissive Ms. Fenchurch was on the second attempt that it just didn't occur to me to try again (like, "boy, I don't want to hear THAT line repeated at me like it always is", lol.)

It is kind of funny, especially in retrospect, the idea that Lord Panswyck, having concocted this elaborate plot with Shoulder to dupe Thomasina into freeing their demon god from Hob's Barrow, was hiding in the bushes and refuses to reveal himself unless Thomasina pesters Fenchurch enough to have her threatened to be shot. Especially since the flashback with Arthur in the woods made it clear that Panswyck wanted to just immediately broach the subject to her directly, and Shoulder was the one whose idea it was to string her along with all these bread crumb errands to run.

But hey, that's adventure game logic. We know it and love it despite its flaws. :-)
