TUTORIAL WALKTHROUGH
NOTE: This tutorial walks you through the beginning of your adventure. If you
would like to use keyboard commands to supplement the mouse commands we give
here, see your Reference Card. The first time you play the game you are placed in
the situation described below (after the Introduction).
Since the game starts with you being attacked by a slobbering beast, you may
want to read the Main Game Screen, Movement and Combat sections of
this tutorial before you actually begin play.
MAIN GAME SCREEN
The game begins in Normal Mode — the screen you see most of the time. In
the upper left is the View Window — the world as you see it. Look below
the View Window to see the six icons of the Selection Bar. To the right of
the View Window you find the Portrait Panel. Your Portrait is at the top of
this panel, and to either side of it are purple Size Gems to control the size of
the View Window. (We’ll discuss Size Gems later, on p.20.) Look below the
Portrait — the horizontal gray bar is the Score Bar. Eight Inventory Boxes
