Come Back: Chapter 1 is the first part of an enigmatic point and click adventure game.

There are 15 Steam Achievements, all documented in the walkthrough below.

Use the boat to travel again.

Wreck Island

Approach the building and go through the main doors. In this room you can put 2 ingredients in the funnels on the right to create a dish. If you want to make another dish, back out of the building and go inside again. Make a dish of crab and rice 8 times Five-star chef. Next make a dish of mango and banana Beach cocktail. Finally make a dish of walnut and coconut (from your inventory). Take the note (5/12), paying attention to the frequency of 243.00 written on it.

Leave this room, then go through the small door on the right of the building. Place the satellite dish on top of the machine, then put your battery in the empty slot towards the right Handyman. Adjust the frequency using the slider, and listen to frequency 169.00 for a while Have we lost Paulette?. Now listen to frequency 243.00 for a while, and take the note (12/12), paying attention to the Morse code written on it (translates to "BITE").

Leave the building, then follow the path to the right into the forest. Examine the box on the tree stump, and enter the Morse code for "LAN" (.-...--.) ---...---...---...---. Now enter the Morse code for "BITE" (-.....-.). Pick up a key and another note (11/12). Go back to the beach and leave the island.

Use your key on the lock, then head inside. Based on the 4 round stones you saw earlier, set the animal symbols as follows from left to right:

  1. Pig
  2. Snake
  3. Bird
  4. Puffer fish

Pull the lever on the left and take the key. Use this key on the lock to the right, then go through this door. Take the note (6/12) from the left wall.
