Overview
Overview

I don't treat the intro page as part of the guide, but it does come into play, sort of. Take note of the controls you can use!

I do not use hints. HINTS DISABLE ACHIEVEMENTS.

I have masked the spoiler answers with white spaces. If you are copy-pasting, you may copy the white space too.

The game intentionally 'crashes' at one point, and you need to rename a file in the root folder of the game later on.

RENAMING THE FILE BEFORE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO SOFT-LOCKS THE GAME. You will need to re-verify the game once you have completed it, and delete the files BKP2.tlt and PROG.tlt from the games directory.

So when you start the game after the intro, you are immediately presented with the main splash screen and table of contents:



You can click on the entries in table of contents in GREEN, and the TAROT game in YELLOW.

As this game relies on you clicking certain elements to progress to the next phase, we will need to click things in an specific order to progress. Skipping steps has the ability to soft-lock your run of the game, meaning you need to start again. As progress isn't saved, simply restart the game if you do manage to soft-lock yourself from progressing.

For the main walk-through, I will keep it to minimal images. Due to the type of game it is, it is difficult to make the walkthrough and not give anything away. I felt this was the best approach, although have included some for reference. While I have tried to purposely be vague with the story, this does contain spoilers.

I have purposely started the walkthrough in a basic manner to get you used to navigating the game. I do reel back the simplified approach as the walkthrough progresses.

Its important all parts prior to that are done. Its a game of events, so, you need to complete event A to move on to event B, then completing event B opens the door to event C, and so on. You cant skip steps.

I also noticed a few issues/glitches when you skipped over certain parts to rush to the end. To be honest if you hit a progression bug like this I would advise you just start again.
