I have finally got my hands on this little gem. I'm surprised -the game is wonderful, I'm enjoying it ^_^

But, after some hours (I have just got back to the manor after visiting another realm), doubts arises: the game feels inmense and I found things (like the helmet or the snake inside the Aelf mausoleum) that seem perfectly possible to miss. Also, my visit to the tower and the foreign realm seemed a bit short compared to the other chapters. I found a key there, but I was unable to use it.

Anyway, my question is: it is possible to miss important objects? one could get stuck if does not pick up an object that later on is unreachable? Or maybe this means that the game has different paths or endings depending on your actions?

Thanks! ^_^ -please, try to avoid spoilers ;)

Events can vary to a small extent, depending upon your actions. I don't think this circumstance can arise. (Far more likely is that you miss an object and are prevented from continuing until you figure out what it is that you've missed, but I don't believe the game is ever cruel enough to allow you continue on to a guaranteed doom).
