Byzantine: The Betrayal
-----------------------
The summons from your friend in Turkey promises you a story that any 
investigative journalist would die for. Once in Istanbul, you begin
to suspect your friend's words may prove prophetic, as you are plunged
into a conspiracy that's plundering the legacy of a lost civilization.

In this dangerously authentic adventure, you'll need all your reporters 
instincts and skills to solve your way to the truth...or perish in the 
attempt. Now, let the journey begin. But remember: Trust no one.
Suspect Everyone. And play as if your life depends on it.

When you first begin the demo, an introductory movie will begin.

B. **Map**

Clicking on the Map button from the main menu takes you to a map of Istanbul,
much like the one that you use to travel in the game. Although there are many
more locations in the game itself, in this demo you can visit three real life
locations in Istanbul. Access each location by using the mouse pointer and
clicking on the highlighted location you wish to visit. When you click on a 
location, you are transported to a 360 degree panoramic view. By using the 
arrow buttons at the bottom of the screen, you can scroll around the view 
and look all around your current location. 

Keep in mind that in the final game, moving around in these views is 
completely free-moving and fluid (graphics had to be scaled down for 
the demo). Click on the map button to return to the map view. Once you have
returned to the map view, you can either return to the main menu by clicking 
on the Menu button or quit the demo by clicking on the Quit button.

C. **Gallery**

Byzantine has the most realistic graphics ever seen in a computer adventure 
game. Shot on location in Istanbul, these are a sampling of the rich world 
you will enter in Byzantine. By clicking on the Gallery button, you begin a 
slideshow that can be ended at any time by clicking on any graphic.
