Walkthrough by Chrissie  October 2008

 

This is a full free download made by fans for fans of the first two Broken Sword games. It is however at the moment only available in German with English subtitles so on the initial game screen you may need to click on the ‘Optionen’ setting to alter the language & check subtitles are on. You can here also adjust music, sound & voice volume.

 

If you are familiar with the earlier games you will know that they are third person perspective with a fairly simple interface.

 

Moving the cursor up to the bar above the game screen brings up icons on the left to EXIT GAME (red cross), SAVE (floppy disc with arrow pointing down), LOAD (floppy disc with arrow pointing up) & OPTIONS (green control panel). N.B. There are 18 save slots which capture the exact scene at the time of saving & are automatically labelled with the date & time. Option settings can be altered at any time during the game.

 

Moving the cursor to the bar below the game screen shows the inventory. Left click on it to use an item in the game screen or with another inventory item, & right-click to sometimes reveal more about it.

 

In-game icons include, by left-clicking on them, mouth cursor to talk, magnifying glass to examine, cog wheels to perform an action/use inventory item, pointing hand to exit to another scene & gesturing hands to move further to the right or left of a wider game screen. Right-clicking on all of these can prompt comments and/or more description.
