CONTROLLING THE HERO
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A. MOVING
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To move Raoul within a room, point the mouse cursor at the required
|
|||
|
|
destination and press the LEFT mouse button. Raoul will then move to
|
|||
|
|
that location, avoiding any obstacle in his way.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To go to a different room, place the cursor over the door or the
|
|||
|
|
exit displayed on the screen and press the LEFT mouse button.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
MANIPULATING YOUR ENVIRONMENT
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Each room contains a large number of objects, any of which could be
|
|||
|
|
clues, vital to the progress of your investigation, To find out
|
|||
|
|
about the actions you can use on an object, place the mouse cursor
|
|||
|
|
over it and press the LEFT mouse button.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A list of verbs relating to the selected object will be displayed.
|
|||
|
|
Place the mouse cursor over the relevant action verb (the
|
|||
|
|
highlighted verb will then change colour) and press the LEFT button.
|
|||
|
|
Raoul will then carry out the order you have given him.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you choose not to use any of the proposed actions, move the
|
|||
|
|
cursor within the menu (all the verbs will then be the same colour
|
|||
|
|
meaning that none has been selected), then press the LEFT button to
|
|||
|
|
exit the list.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It is important to know that only actions which can be executed on
|
|||
|
|
the object immediately are displayed on the list.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
EXAMPLE: Raoul is in a room containing a chest of drawers. Let's
|
|||
|
|
suppose you wish to examine the contents of one of the drawers and
|
|||
|
|
that the drawer is closed. Move the mouse cursor over the drawer and
|
|||
|
|
press the LEFT mouse button. A single verb will appear on the list:
|
|||
|
|
OPEN ... Nothing yet will allow you to search the inside of the
|
|||
|
|
drawer.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Select the verb OPEN ordering Raoul to open the drawer.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Then, press again on the drawer and the following verbs will be
|
|||
|
|
displayed:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
CLOSE
|
|||
|
|
Now, all you have to do Is select the verb SEARCH on the list and
|
|||
|
|
reap the fruit of your efforts.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
C. USING FOUND OBJECTS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Some actions are likely to be possible only when the object Is In
|
|||
|
|
your possession ... For example, you will need to take a letter
|
|||
|
|
before you can read It, a jacket before you can wear It etc...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To display the Inventory of objects carried by Raoul, simply press
|
|||
|
|
the RIGHT mouse button.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you want to affect one of the objects displayed In the inventory,
|
|||
|
|
move the mouse cursor over the name of the object (it will then
|
|||
|
|
change colour) and press the LEFT mouse button.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The list of actions associated with that object will be displayed
|
|||
|
|
Instead of the inventory. Point the mouse cursor to a verb (which
|
|||
|
|
will then change colour) and press the LEFT mouse button.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Remember, only actions possible Immediately will be displayed on the
|
|||
|
|
list.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
EXAMPLE: Raoul has just picked up a small ball of paper and you want
|
|||
|
|
to READ what it says... Press the RIGHT mouse button and display the
|
|||
|
|
list of objects carried by Raoul Then point the mouse cursor to
|
|||
|
|
"piece of paper" and press the LEFT button to call the following list
|
|||
|
|
EXAMINE THROW SHOW SMOOTH OUT Select the verb SMOOTH OUT on the
|
|||
|
|
list. Raoul will then smooth out the piece of paper. Now recall the
|
|||
|
|
Inventory and select the "piece of paper" ... The list of verbs
|
|||
|
|
associated with It Is now as follows: EXAMINE THROW SHOW READ All
|
|||
|
|
you need to do Is move the mouse cursor over the verb READ and press
|
|||
|
|
the LEFT mouse button.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
D. ESTABLISHING LINKS BETWEEN OBJECTS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It Is very likely that the objects you will find at various
|
|||
|
|
locations have not been placed there by chance and the odds are that
|
|||
|
|
at some stage In your quest, you will have to make the most of your
|
|||
|
|
opportunities. Use your powers of deduction, flair and Intuition to
|
|||
|
|
try and guess the link between particular obiects. Although these
|
|||
|
|
relationships are, on the whole, easy to establish (a key goes into
|
|||
|
|
a lock to unlock a door, a pickaxe digs an opening Into a rock),
|
|||
|
|
sometimes It will take more time. Don't lose heart Immediately
|
|||
|
|
because there Is ALWAYS a solution.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When you think you have guessed the link between two objects, try It
|
|||
|
|
out to check your deduction.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Here are some examples which illustrate the way to establish a
|
|||
|
|
relationship between one object and another...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A: You have a key ... In front of you, a locked door just asking to
|
|||
|
|
be opened.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Press the RIGHT button to call the Inventory.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Choose the ~key" from the Inventory.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- In the new list of verbs, select the verb "Put In" ... A control
|
|||
|
|
phrase will be displayed "key: put In..." to remind you that you
|
|||
|
|
must now select the object In which you wish to put the key...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Move the cursor over the lock and press the LEFT mouse button...
|
|||
|
|
Raoul will execute the action.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
B: You still have the key and you have Just found a small box. The
|
|||
|
|
key and the box are both In the Inventory and you will try to open
|
|||
|
|
the box with the key
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Press the RIGHT button to call the Inventory.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Select the '-key" from the Inventory.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Select ~Open..." on the list of verbs relating to the key
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Press the RIGHT button again to recall the Inventory.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Now, move the mouse cursor over the word "box" and validate with
|
|||
|
|
the LEFT button to execute the opening of the box with the key...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
C: A pile of records on a table and, nearby, a record player. You
|
|||
|
|
want to listen to a record...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Move the cursor over the pile of records and press the LEFT mouse
|
|||
|
|
button.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- The list of verbs associated with the pile of records Is now
|
|||
|
|
displayed. Choose "Put on ...". The following control phrase Is
|
|||
|
|
displayed "record: put on..."reminding you that you need to decide
|
|||
|
|
where Raoul must put the record.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Move the cursor over the record player and press the LEFT button
|
|||
|
|
to validate the action of ~putting the record on the record player"
|
|||
|
|
and listen away.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
E. DIALOGUE
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
An Investigation conducted according to the rules must begin by a
|
|||
|
|
close Interrogatlon of the suspects.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When a character Is In the room, move the mouse cursor over him/her
|
|||
|
|
and press the LEFT button to display the list of actions. Select the
|
|||
|
|
verb "speak" to start the conversation...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A list of topics of conversation classified by heading will be
|
|||
|
|
displayed. Each heading includes all the topics of conversation
|
|||
|
|
relating to a character (except the heading <20>-objects found'~ which
|
|||
|
|
allows you to question the suspects on the objects you discovered
|
|||
|
|
during your investigation). EXAMPLE
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You want to question Father Fabiani about Julio's taste for computer
|
|||
|
|
games...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When you go into dialogue mode, the following menu will be displayed:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
FABIANI
|
|||
|
|
SUZANNE
|
|||
|
|
JULIO
|
|||
|
|
HECTOR
|
|||
|
|
OBJECTS FOUND
|
|||
|
|
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Place the mouse cursor on ~Julio" and press the LEFT button. A
|
|||
|
|
sub-menu with all the topics of conversation having a link with
|
|||
|
|
Julio will be displayed:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
HIS PASSION FOR GAMES
|
|||
|
|
HIS LOVE OF PLANTS
|
|||
|
|
HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH SUZANNE
|
|||
|
|
OTHER TOPICS...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Move the mouse cursor over "his passion for games" and press the
|
|||
|
|
LEFT button to receive Father Fabiani's answer.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
According to the answer, one or more new topics will be added to the
|
|||
|
|
list. Some minor topics will merely pad out the conversation and
|
|||
|
|
allow you to obtain more detail on a particular theme. These
|
|||
|
|
temporary topics are easily recognizable as they are displayed dark
|
|||
|
|
In the menu.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Let's suppose that the priest's answer to the previous question Is:
|
|||
|
|
"Julio has a passion for adventure games, especially DELPHlNE's..."
|
|||
|
|
There would be two new temporary themes In the menu ~Adventure
|
|||
|
|
Games" and ~Delphinen... These themes may bring up others.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In some Instances, the new topic Is vital to the progress of your
|
|||
|
|
investigation. It will then be displayed permanently on the list (In
|
|||
|
|
white) and you will be able to question someone else on the same
|
|||
|
|
topic.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To exit the conversation, choose the heading "thank you for your
|
|||
|
|
help" on the list.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When you are In a heading sub-menu, select ~other topics" to go back
|
|||
|
|
to the main headings menu.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE USER MENU
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This menu offers functions which are not part of the actual game but
|
|||
|

|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You access this menu by pressing both mouse buttons simultaneously.
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
SAVE GAME: to save the current game onto a disk. At the prompt,
|
|||
|
|
Insert the save disk.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A directory of games already on the disk will be displayed.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Choose a slot and validate.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If there Is no slot available In the directory, use a new save disk
|
|||
|
|
or save over an existing game.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
LOAD GAME: to continue a previously saved game. At the prompt,
|
|||
|
|
Insert the save disk.
|
|||

|||
|
|
The list of saved games on the save disk will be displayed.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Move the mouse over the name of the game to be loaded and validate.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
NOTE: You can save a game as long as your hero Is alive. We
|
|||
|
|
recommend that you use this option regularly and everytime the
|
|||
|
|
situation Is dangerous. During some animation sequences, where you
|
|||
|
|
do not have to guide your character, you will not be able to save
|
|||
|
|
the game. Don't worry, nothing very dangerous can happen to you
|
|||
|
|
during these sequences or It's too late to take actlon!

|||

HINTS AND TIPS FOR BEGINNERS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If this Is the first time you have played an adventure game, here
|
|||
|
|
are some tips:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Examine all the objects In your location.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Read carefully all the comments displayed as they may hold important
|
|||
|
|
clues for the rest of your adventure.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Pick up as many objects as possible.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Consider the various possible uses of the objects you have.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Activate everything you can.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Talk to as many people as possible, they may put you onto a lead.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Save as soon as you feel some danger.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
However, if you are stuck at some stage of the game, try and check
|
|||
|
|
whether you have forgotten an object or whether you have failed to
|
|||
|
|
do something earlier.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Every problem has a solution - ALWAYS.
