General Tips

  • When starting a new game, you can choose between two difficulties: Casual or Experienced.
  • Once you’ve completed the game, the Chapter Select option will appear in the Main Menu, allowing you to revisit specific sections of the game.
  • If your game is running slowly or you’d prefer not to have perspective movement in the screen, go to the Options menu and toggle “Screen Movement” to adjust as necessary.
  • From the Main Menu, you can access the Extras menu. Here you can find Achievements, which gives you a number of challenges to try and complete in the game and increases replay value. You can choose to either show or hide the criteria to unlock these achievements. A small picture will appear next to the description when unlocked, and you will receive a notice at the top of the screen in-game whenever you unlock a new achievement.
  • During gameplay in the lower left corner of the screen, your objective will appear. If you have trouble completing it or need additional information, you can click on this area to learn more.
  • At the same time, the Hint button is located in the lower right corner of the screen. Whenever you’re stuck and aren’t sure what to do next, the Hint button will point you in the right direction. Hints are unlimited. The Help and Menu options can also be accessed in the same corner.
  • The Inventory bar appears between the bottom two corners of the screen, and displays all the items you currently possess. By default this disappears whenever you move the cursor away and reappears whenever you move it to the bottom of the screen, however if you’d like it to stay visible, click on the small lock icon near the right corner to cause it to remain stationary.
