Game Introduction – A Wizard’s Curse

General Tips

Difficulty Modes

Normal Mode: Interactive locations are indicated with glints; hidden object scenes are indicated with sparkles; hint button available; puzzles can be skipped after 30 seconds
Expert Mode: No glints, no hints and no skipping!
You can switch between difficulty modes at any point during the game by going to menu, set difficulty.

Cursors

Click on areas with a magnifying glass to get more information or to zoom in.
A grabbing hand indicates items you can move or pick up to put into your inventory.
A gear cursor will appear when you’re holding an inventory item over an interactive area. Note, however, that the gear will appear over any interactive area and not just the area where you need to use the item.

Journal

The journal can be found in the bottom left of the screen.
The journal keeps track of potion recipes, codes and other important instructions.
The journal appears as an open book whenever there is new information you haven’t seen yet.

Puzzles and Hidden Object Scenes

In normal mode, you can find puzzle instructions by clicking on the Hint button. Unfortunately, when playing in expert mode there are no puzzle instructions whatsoever.
Also in normal mode, you can skip a puzzle after 30 seconds by clicking on the skip button in the top right of the screen.
Hidden object scenes (HOS) in this game are standard, old school HOS. You get a list of items you need to find. There is no clicking penalty and there are no interactive items.
HOS items are randomized, and thus only the items you need to find to advance the game are indicated in the images in this walkthrough.
