User Guide

Don't worry : you will never get stuck because you did not ask
the right question or missed something in a dialogue.
The game always checks that you have the minimum
amount of information you need to understand
the story and continue. But if you don't play
dialogues, you may miss some side information
or even some scenes, so be careful.
- It is generally better not to let the game
make a default choice for you, as it is
generally not the most interesting or
revealing choice that will be made.
- Dialogs are structured in a way to give a
strong feeling of natural pacing and
emulate the continuity of a real dialogue.
Key words appear as ideas cross your
mind. You won't be able to ask all of
the question options as the dialogue
progresses, so think about what you
are going to ask.
MOTION PHYSICAL
ACTION REACTION
To execute a “MPAR”, hold the left mouse button and
move your mouse to reproduce the movement.
ACTION CONTROLS
During an action sequence,
on-screen indicators will display
the proper keys to press. Make the
corresponding moves as quickly as
they appear on screen, in order to
successfully complete the sequence.
When you see this icon on screen,
press the arrow keys (and/or the Num
Pad keys) in the directions indicated.
TIPS :
- You can modify the difficulty level of the
Action Sequences by selecting the
Options Menu and changing the setting
"Difficulty Level" to "EASY", "NORMAL" or
"HARD".

INTERACTING WITH ITEMS
When you move your
character in front of an
object or person, an action
icon will sometimes appear
at the top of the screen.
The white line and moving
red dot indicate the
direction you need to move
your mouse. Click and hold
the left mouse button and
replicate this movement in
order to perform an action.
The red dot indicates the
current position of the mouse movement.
TIPS :
When you move the mouse holding the left mouse button,
you will be able to see the animation for that movement.
Do it slowly to really feel the control of the motion.
INTERACTING WITH PEOPLE
If you choose to talk to
another character, dialog
options are presented at
the top of the screen. Click
and hold the left mouse
button and move it in the
direction indicated by the
white line and moving red
dot to select a dialog
choice. The blue meter
below the dialog choices
represents the amount of
time you have to choose
your response.
If you do not select anything to say before the blue bar disappears, the
symbol on the left of the blue meter indicates what will happen: if there
is a blue symbol on the left of the time bar, the game will make a default
choice for you, if there is a red symbol, you will exit the dialogue.
TIPS :
- If you do not wish to enter in dialog, don't make any
dialog choices when the red symbol is displayed on the
left of the time bar – this will quickly end your
conversation.
