Recurring Elements in Puzzles

- Keys
In How to Say Goodbye you can move a key to you, especially if a character must remain on a button. Any character can use a key once one of them collects it, this means if one character is stuck, you can have another character find the key for them.
- Windmill Devices
In order to raise or lower the platforms the windmill-like devices control you need to move the spaces in front of them. Make sure you keep your character at a distance so they don't move, too, and then once the platform is where you want it, move the ghost where they need to go without turning the windmill further.
