MESSIAH™

FLIGHT

Next to his possession ability, Bob’s next most powerful

attribute is his ability for flight. To flap your wings and

take to the air, press the “Flap/Jump Key” and your wings

will flap once. If you continue to press the “Flap/Jump

Key” in succession, you will notice that your wings will

continue to flap and you can stay in the air for sustained

periods of time. Flapping while moving forward will allow

you to cover ground quite quickly and will enable you to

move over obstacles in your path quite effortlessly.

By now you’ve noticed that you cannot fly, but instead have limited flight abilities. Since you

are still an angel in training and your wings are not fully developed, you only have the ability to

flap your wings and fly for a few moments before your stubby little wings start to get fatigued

and lose their potency. While limiting at first, once you get used to Earth’s gravitational forces

you should be able to get a good feel for what types of obstacles you can overcome before your

wings give out.

There is one more flight ability which you must often utilize in your travels on Earth. When on

a high ledge, you can leap off and press and hold the “Flap/Jump Key” to spread your wings and

glide to your destination. By using the glide ability, you will be able to leap off of even the

highest structures and glide like a feather to the ground while taking little or no damage.

Gliding is also useful if you want to soar to a far off landing area without having to flap your

wings rapidly in succession.

If you get into a bind and find yourself falling from a great distance straight down, try to flap

your wings just before you hit the ground to cushion your fall and minimize any potential damage.

POSSESSED CHARACTER’S

ABILITIES

GENERAL COMBAT

As Bob, you are very fragile and defenseless. As such,

it is necessary to possess Earth’s inhabitants and use

their bodies and weapons whenever force is necessary to

get through a tight spot. The following will help you learn

how to engage Earth’s inhabitants in both weapon and

hand to hand combat. Note that the creatures in City

Faktur can only carry one primary weapon at a time

though some can carry secondary grenades or mines as

well. If you want to use a different weapon than the one a character is currently using, you will

have to swap it with another when you come across it.

GRABBING AND DROPPING WEAPONS

The easiest way to get a weapon is to possess a character who

already has a weapon in their hands. In the event that the possessed

character does not have a weapon or their weapon runs out of ammo,

look for a weapon in the room and stand over it to pick it up. Once over

a weapon one of two action icons will appear in the bottom right of the

screen; the pick up weapon icon (see fig. 1) or the swap weapon icon (see fig. 2). While
