The Hound of Shadow

Before you can start playing a scenario it is necessary to select a character with which to play.
If you have previously created characters or wish to use the pre-designed characters then choose Select Character from the main menu. You are then prompted to insert your user disk and select the character of your choice. Having selected your character you may either Begin A Scenario or Examine This Character.
If you wish to create a new character then see below.
Choose the Create Character option from the main menu. You will find the instructions on how to create a character in the manual. Once you have finished you will be asked to save the character record to disk.
Simply enter a name of up to 8 characters you must use the Select Character option from the main menu before you can Begin A Scenario. Once you have chosen your character select Begin A Scenario. You will be asked to insert your user disk.
This is a role-playing game that uses a traditional adventure-style parser system. This means that you must use the keyboard to type in commands that the game interprets. Since this is an investigative horror role-playing adventure, you must be careful to remember the information presented and unravel the plot if you are to succeed. To help you do this, the game has a command to summarise the extent of your plot knowledge - type "What do I know" to get this information. Do not rely on it to store all of your knowledge, just use it as a helpful reminder.
