TRIAL PERIOD:
=============
This demo is offered for a trial period. It is fully functional, allowing
you to explore part of the first level of the dungeon. At some point, you
will not be able to continue unless you pay the registration fee. You can
pay the registration fee online at the web site above. The fee is $15.00,
and we accept MasterCard and VISA.
PLAYING THE GAME:
=================
After you start, the game will present a splash screen, followed by a breif
history to orient you to the game. After that, you will be given a chance
to create your character. Your character will be assigned 4 statistics at
random. These statistics are critical to your survival, so you want them
to be as high as possible, though no statistic can start above 18.
- Strength: improves the amount of damage you do to monsters.
- Intellect: reduces the chance you will be surprised by monsters. Also
increases you chance to avoid traps.
- Speed: improves your ability to dodge monster attacks.
- Accuracy: improves your chance to hit monsters.
Hit Pts: This is the amount of damage you can take before you die. Hit points
can be regained during the game, by simply walking around, or sleeping.
The main game form shows a 3d perspective view of the dungeon. There are
7 action buttons at the bottom, plus a readout of your hit points. Movement
in the game is done by hiting one of the action buttons, or by hitting a
hard key.
L = Turn Left
F = Move Forward
R = Turn Right
B = Move Backward
S = Sleep
C = View Character Stats
M = Show Map
Calendar = View Character
Address Book = Turn Left
Scroll Up = Move Forward
Scroll Down = Move Backward
To Do List = Turn Right
Memo Pad = Show Map
As you wander the dungeon, you will encounter monsters. You will want to
battle as many monsters as possible, because victory increases your characters
attributes slightly. The higher your attributes, the better your chance of
defeating more dangerous monsters on lower levels of the dungeon. Keep an
eye on your hit points, if they become low during a battle, you can attemtp
to retreat, though the monsters may block your path.
You will find many chests in the dungeon. Some may be empty, but some will
contain weapons, armor, or other items necessary for completion of the game.
Weapons and armor will be automatically equipped if it is better than what
you currently possess.
Remember to save your game often. You can save by selecting the 'Save Game'
menu command, or simply leaving the game and going to another application.
If you die in the dungeon, you can continue playing from the last place you
saved your game.
We want to make this game as fun an experience for you as we can. If you
have any comments, suggestions, criticisms or praise, please don't hesitate
to contact us. We can be reached at support@eLowery.net.
Thanks for playing and have fun.
