After reaching the island you will see 5 stones. Between them lies a bowl with bones. You must collect them. Your task is to match the bones with the correct stones. You have to position yourself in such a way, as to see the house on your left side while facing the stone. The correct position of your character is shown in the screenshot above.
You need to put a bunch of herbs into the first stone. All you need to do is take them out of your inventory and place them in the opening.
The next stone is on the right. You must hang three bones inside of the circle.
The third stone must have four bones within it. This pattern they form is shown in the screenshot above.
In the fourth stone, you must place the bones that form a cross.
In the last stone, you have to place a sign made of a bone and a circle. It is shown in the picture above. When you achieve this, a red light will begin glowing from the stones.

After placing the tube in the typewriter, you will receive another task. You will need to collect information about a particular theft. To do this you have to go back to the estate and head over to the attic. You will find a new passage there. It is shown in the screenshot above.
When you enter the new room you will see a cork board. The testimonies of various people are hanging on the mentioned board. They contain information about the puzzle.
In addition, there is a music box in the room. You must open it. Within it, you will find information about the ring. To open the music box you have to repeat the exact melody that it will play. You must do this 3 times. When you wind up the music box, you will see how the individual buttons must be selected. After the melody stops, you will have to click the buttons in the very same pattern that the game has showed you. In the picture above, we have marked the individual buttons with numbers. Below you will find the exact course of every melody. All you need to do is click on the buttons marked with the appropriate number.
The first melody - 2, 1, 2, 7, 1, 8
The second melody - 5, 9, 5, 2, 7, 6, 5
The third melody - 3, 4, 1, 3, 7, 1, 6
You need to collect the information about the ring and return to the typewriter. A dialogue will start after you return, and you must use the dialogue options in the correct order: 1, 3, 3. After talking with the ghost you will receive a key.
The optical puzzle

After obtaining the key, you must return to the island. Right next to the island there is a small hut, located on the edge of the waterline. Enter it and open the chest located there. To do this, you must use the previously obtained key. The chest holds a lamp and lenses, that will allow you to solve the next puzzle.
Return to the island and place the lamp where the bones were located before. Then go to each stone and put a lens inside. Your task will be to set the lenses in such a way so that the light will fall on the pile of stones.
Approach the rocks and move one of them. You will find a closed box behind it. You must open it.
After opening the box you will receive some notes and the ring. Collect these items and return to the typewriter.
The Well

After returning to the machine, you will find out that you must once again go to the basement where Pearl was trapped earlier. There, in the room with the furnace, you will find a box on the left side. Take the screwdriver out of your equipment and open it.
The box contains several pipes. You must arrange them so that the water can flow through the system freely. In the screenshot above, you can observe the proper arrangement of the pipes. Remember that using the E key allows you to turn the pipes so that it is easier to organize them.
After correcting the placement of the pipes, go to the centre of the village. You will find a drained well there. You must enter it. Inside, you will have a conversation with Nora. To continue the story, you must choose the appropriate sequence of dialogue options - 2, 4, 2. Afterwards, a strip of blue light will appear on the wall. When you click on it, you will be moved to the final location.
