Basic Instructions:

This is a point and click adventure game--all of Paul's actions are controlled
using the mouse (for additional keyboard instructions, see below).

To change the current fuction of the cursor, click on the corresponding
button on the pop-up icon bar at the top of the screen, or right-click to
scroll through the functions.

Paul's inventory may be accessed by clicking the button on the pop-up icon bar
at the top of the screen with a picture of a bag on it.  Each of these items
may be examined using the "Look" cursor.  Selecting an item with the arrow
cursor and clicking "OK" will allow Paul to use this item on his surroundings
via the cursor.

Dialogue may be skipped by clicking a mouse button or pressing a key.

Cutscenes may be skipped by clicking the right mouse button.

While Paul is walking, you may have him automatically jump to his destination
by hitting the ESC key.

Additional Notes:

There is death in this game.  However, the game will create a save file right
before you do something that will kill Paul, thus ensuring that you will not
lose progress even upon the event of death.  After dying, you may choose to
try again from this point, restore a previously saved game, start the game from
the beginning, or quit the game entirely.  Please note that this automatic save
file cannot be accessed at any other time, so do not rely on this as you would
any other save file you created.

The game is, at this time, not finished.  This means that there are many puzzles
that cannot be solved and many places that cannot be explored.  Later versions
of the game will remedy this.

Troubleshooting:

If you get an error message about resolution when trying to run the
testgame.exe file, first open the winsetup.exe file and change the resolution
option to 640 x 400, then try running the game again.

If other errors or trouble playing the game are encountered, contact Lizo at

suggestions for better gameplay are greatly appreciated.
