The objective of The Dark Eye is to complete the story that takes place in the old house you enter at the beginning of the game. In order to progress through this story, you must along the way complete the three Poe story adaptations. Each of the three Poe stories must be completed from the perspective of both of it's main characters. For instance, in The Tell-Tale Heart, you must, as the narrator, kill the Old Man, and as the Old Man, be killed. Upon completing one point of view in a Poe story, an icon in the Phrenology Map is filled in, and you can progress to the next stage of the main story.
2. How do I know when I've completed The Dark Eye?
When The Dark Eye is complete, all of the icons in the Phrenology Map are filled in. Note that it is possible to complete The Dark Eye without seeing the two 'graphic novels,' each of which is represented by an icon in the Phrenology Map. These two icons are displayed if you finish The Dark Eye even if you never found them during the game, so you have a way of experiencing them.
3. What is a Soul Jump?
A soul jump allows you to jump between characters while you are in the Poe stories. For instance, while you are experiencing The Tell-Tale Heart as the Narrator, you have a chance to jump over to the Old Man, and experience the story from his perspective. A reflection in the eyes of the character you are looking at tells you that a soul jump opportunity is available.
Hint #1: Each point of view in each Poe story can be accessed from the main story.
Hint #2: At some point you will need to avoid soul jumping in order to progress to the end of a point of view.
