The only problem is I gave the blue paint back to the artist since I was getting tired of having the option to paint every object in my inventory blue, I figured it would simplify things a bit. Now it looks like I may need it and I don't see a way to get it back. Any help, or clarification of my options?

Thanks, I figured that out my second time through luckily enough, and now its world is a closed book to me. Thanks for your help along the way.

Favorite feature(s):

The conversation system, being able to talk about everything you were working on for clues.

The inventory system helped it be more like a classic adventure game where you don't have a list of obvious actions to perform in each place.

The recipe on was a nice throwback to monkey island of course, in the ambiguity of finding all its ingredients and the puzzle it took to get it as well.

Least favorite would probably be the final puzzle, the fact that the instructions referred to the same thing with two different names was deliberately obtuse.
