When I first got the game I found it to be very difficult and confusing. But after playing it for a while you figure out the shots. The inner loop is tough but make-able. I find myself getting trunk multiball quite a lot now. Seance is now a breeze. The scoop is very doable while the milk can usually goes in on a bounce. Apart from that I have figure out which shot is easier ans safer with each flipper. Consistently getting close to a million every few games now. At first I wanted to write off but now I find myself playing it more than Dialed In. The only thing I haven't figured out yet is how to activate the outer lanes modes ("back from the dead" and "forgot what it's named"). In all I find this game to be tough but very enjoyable.

Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:

great input from the inspired pinball designer. How the heck do you light chain link inserts and what do the colors mean? I see three groupings of 5 links - does collecting them all help ????

From what I can tell they are linked to the modes, combos, missions, films. For instance, completing a combo 1 (ramp + scoop) (magenta insert) will light a magenta link. Other groups like film are cyan and things like jail escape are green. I'll play tonight to really confirm but from the top of my head that's what happens.
