how to play the game?

[mawmawof4]

Am looking for the basic instrutions on how to play the game.All i have found is hints. Looking for the instructions on how and what the gun is for and how to use it and anyother items he has.

The gun is for shooting at everything. Just aim with the mouse and click. Won't help you much goin through the game, tho...
Apart from that it's extremely simlply... It's called click and play, so you just have to click... and play ^^
the cardboard in the left-down (?) of the screen opens the inventory... apart from that, ther isn't much to say

What does the "Warp" option in the menu do?

It makes the game harder. :D

Actually, no, it doesn't do anything.

For the rest, as Astro said, it's pretty straightforward. Click where you want Sam to go and he'll walk there. If the cursor gets a green outline when it moves over an item or person, that means you can interact with the item or person by clicking. The gun can be shot at anything you feel like.

Access your inventory by clicking the cardboard box in the lower left corner, and then you can "pick up" an item by clicking on it. Your cursor will change from an arrow to that item, and you can use the item on another item or person by clicking while your cursor is over that item or person. Right-click to turn your cursor into an arrow again.

Access the menu by clicking the gear icon in the upper left corner, or by pressing Esc on your keyboard. In there you can save/load the game, change game options, and quit.

Oh, and if you want to skip through dialogue more quickly, use the spacebar or the right mouse button.

Hmm... did I forget anything? :p

As far as what you're supposed to do, just let the story unfold. The point of the game is to progress the story and find a way around any obstacles that arise (by using inventory items, talking to people, etc.)

In all the tech help threads, it should be suggested to ensure "Warp" is turned off in the menu to prevent random crashing. :p

oh, just something about the controls... I've noticed that Alt no longer paused the game in ep2.... That's not really important, but i really needed to go and get some coffee while some dialog was running and that was kind of frustrating not to be able to pause the game and go ^^
just wondering if that was intentional or not.

I want to second the comment about the Alt not working... the pause option is super important for me, so please bring it back!!!
