=========

SPOILERS!!! - Item instructions:

To use an item you shoud choose whitch one to use by sitting on the bed.
After that you can use them by pressing U+X or U+O.

  • Flask: healing potion. There are 5 of them in the worldm each one gives you one sip of heal. It will restore 2 hp.
  • Map: it's... just a map. Marks where you've been and where you are.
  • Looking glass: now you can look into the neighbouring rooms (just like in MetalGear).
  • Grip Glove: allow you to slide down by walls. Pressing O let you stop on your way down, pressing X let you jump from the wall. Always equipped.
  • Parachute: safe fall from anywhere. You can control your fall by pressing L or R, release by presseng O. In some places there are fans to propel you upwards. Always equipped.
  • Sword: give you access to battle system. Press L/R to move, O to change direction, U to block, X to strike and D to holster your sword.
  • Knife: usable for stealthy kills. Slowly get behind the enemy and stab them to death!
  • Rope: let you climb up. The best item, broking every jump puzzle. But it's fun to use. Press O to carefully get from the rope, or press X to jump forward from it.

I'm liking the idea, but I think it is in desperate need of a tutorial. The various kind of motions are clearly each meant for certain spots, but it's difficult to understand what they're each for without a little guidance. Experimenting in the beginning rooms is still giving me very little idea of how the various mechanics work as someone who knows of, but hasn't played, the original game.

Yeah... Just recently gived it to another person... it was harsh.
Will small manual-booklet hit the goal? I'll try to put it in couple of days.

In-game tutorial is in todo list now (:

Awesome, I'm looking forward to it! I like the appearance of it, so once a tutorial is in place so I get the gameplay better I'll be sure to come back to it.

Done it! 
Tutorial area and "manual.png" there!
