I am stuck at something the manuals call the frog trap. I already found the trails behind the doors, the workshop, the kinetoscope and it's combination lock inside, not that I've seen any hints yet to either as I barely started playing. The guides say that I have to apply power to the frog trap by the steam valve, and that they had to go back to activate it. I got here from a pipe suspended higher than I can jump there seems to be no way to go back, and the frog trap lever makes the same sound open or closed, so I'm sure it's not getting power. I have walked the three paths repeatedly, and there doesn't seem to be any way to climb the wall up to the pipe that leads to the mine cart back to the steam valve, anyway to turn the ramp to a ladder, or any way to get the frog trap to work without power, or any clues as to the combination in the kinetoscope. It seems that I got myself to a position that there is no other option except to restart. Is it possible to get yourself so stuck in this game that it is impossible to continue? Am I missing something, like a way back to the steam valve?
Also I can't really read any of the "hand written" text, and there is a lot of it in the fathers laboratory. I can't even tell what his name is, as the fonts are displaying so bad. Is there somewhere I can see a photo of an item, then the transcribed text in a normal font? The photos, so I don't start reading stuff I haven't found.
