HOW TO PLAY / WHAT'S GOING ON:

• TIME: this is a count down timer & when it reaches 0, you have moved up 1 space in the area you are in. When the TIME reaches 0, there is a chance for an encounter. Encounters can make many different things happen.

• PAUSE/PLAY: press this button to stop walking. When you're stopped, you can't encounter anything, so you can press "INFO" to look around or "MAP" to explore a different area.

• GHOST ENCOUNTER: If you haven't met DEMON GIRL yet, keep clicking continue on all dialogue boxes you get. Once you've obtained the major arcana deck from DEMON GIRL, you can defend yourself against the ghosts by battling them in a card battle. During card battles, each of the 5 characters will draw 2 cards. Press the left or right arrows to see different characters. Hover over the left cards to see what the card is; a card description will be shown at the bottom text box & card art will be shown on the left (there is no card art atm). Click on cards, use items to change the TOTAL & if the TOTAL matches the ghost's card number, it will disappear. *Each ghost draws 5 cards from your deck & those cards are not shuffled back into your deck.

• INFO: gives a short message about something you look around to see (just world building).

• ITEMS: Click on items tob see what they do. Items will have different uses in the overworld & in battle.

• GIVE UP: escape a ghost battle, but lose a LIFE. You cannot escape battle if you have 1 LIFE.

*Press "A" on your keyboard to gain 5 lives & 10 of each item.

• TRIANGLE: click this to mulligan during battle. (reshuffles all the character's cards & can give them new cards from the unused cards, in your deck, that remain).

• X: reset your played cards or used items. resets TOTAL back to 0.

• ?: hold this button during battle to get more info on how to play.
