AIM... ..  .

The game is played over a series of short episodes, with the
objective of each episode revealed in the corresponding
chapter of the accompanying novella.

STATUS... ..  .

Throughout the game, the information panel to the right of the
of the main play area is updated based on your interactions in
the game. It displays your current location, your strength, your
wealth, your current weapon and armor and any useful objects you
are holding.

CONTROL... ..  .

Your main character (knight) is moved around the screen using
the keyboard. "I" moves your character north, "K" moves south,
"J" moves west and "L" moves east.

Every 20 moves made decreases your strength by 1 unit.

During play, you may be required to press other keys such as
"SPACE" or answer questions by pressing "Y" or "N".

Keep an eye on the message box at the bottom of the game screen
for prompts.

SEARCH... ..  . 
               
Moving on top of barrels or treasure chests to search them may
reveal wealth. Searching wells may reveal drinking water to
boost your strength.  Searching wooden logs or tree stumps may
reveal grubs to eat to also increase your strength.

COLLECT... ..  .
                
Some items can be collected by walking on to them. For example,
coins or other forms of treasure increase your wealth. Walking
on and collecting food items increases your strength. Objects
such as keys, potions or cloaks can be collected to be used
later in each episode so watch out for them as you explore.

SHOPS... ..  .

Walk on to open doorways of buildings to reveal building types,
such as blacksmiths, armorers, healers, taverns, amongst others.
Follow any instructions in the message box to make purchases.

ENEMIES... ..  .

Move your character next to enemies to begin combat.

Messages in the message box describe the battle. You give and
take hits until your character or the enemy is killed.

Buy better weapons and armor from shops to improve your chances
during combat.

HAZARDS... ..  .

The environment contains hazards such as poisonous mushrooms
and water whirlpools, amongst others, that drain your strength
on contact.

These hazards may occasionally block short cuts. They can be
passed but will drain your strength, so watch your health.

END... ..  .

Each episode ends when you either run out of stength and die
or you complete the episode task as described in the novella.
