Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 File/folder structure within the installation folder reflects the path(s) listed for DOS game data.
  2. File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/781220/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (781220) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.

    "Wow, those symbols in the first castle really do become nearly invisible. You'll run across those types of symbols a few times, so keep your eyes peeled. Also, the symbols are meaningful as they do actually stand for something. I hope you can make them out as it'll make later puzzles very difficult."
