    So, uh. Yeah, I'm on the ship and I need to burn paper. But the paper isn't burning...(Don't want to spoil anything for anybody so it's not that specific) The help thing just tells me I need to burn the paper, but it doesn't tell me how I would go about doing that. And also the fact that I have 5 different things that could burn. Do I give the fire to the paper? Or...what?

    Trust your instincts never surrender!

    Is there like a lamp by the fire? Can you tip that over or something? I've yet to play this game, just a suggestion.

    No, it says to light the paper on fire with the flame underneath the pot. I have paper in my inventory, and I can click the fire. I just don't know how to light the paper on fire...

    Stan should have given you a stack of business cards and a compass when you bought the ship. So er...yeah, maybe your game is borked
