FOREWORD :-
The following is a “No Frills” walkthrough of this
freeware game, with minimum (vital) description & verbiage.
In a few places the action is not essential but
helpful … these are highlighted in blue. Some actions take place in
inventory … these are highlighted in pink.
After each essential action, the
number of points is included in curly red brackets. No cumulative score is
given since many actions can be done in different orders yielding different
numbers of accumulated points.
If you follow the order I played the game as below and
perform all the actions described, you will obtain the full 205 points (out of a
maximum of 205).
If you play in any different order but perform all the
actions described below, I see no reason why you should not obtain the full 205
points also !
