i realized from playing older adventure games that they used to be more obtuse. like moon logic BS.

id say the best example i can think of is the rubber ducky part of The Longest Journey. It involves combining a rubber ducky with a vice so you can pick up a certain object stuck on some electric rail.

of course, you have to first obtain the rubber ducky by feeding some birds a piece of bread that you obtain at a club. to feed the birds you have to click on the bread and click on a rubber ducky on a river. the birds will swoop in and move a grill on a river and you can grab the grill by pulling some chains. you won't immediately get the rubber ducky tho. the birds moving the debris combined with dropping something else (i think a clothesline?) causes the rubber ducky to flow over to some drain in another map or area which you have to pick up. pretty well hidden too and i only found it by clicking on literally everything in the screen across several different areas (at this point of the game there are like a dozen accessible areas >.<)

i first thought the rubber ducky (which you actually do see briefly flowing across the river after removing the debris) was just there for laughs or something. did not realize i had to combine it with a vice till i started to combine everything in my inventory.
