Hi there,

All these style games use a similar command set. Hopefully this brief description will set you on the right track.

Movement
To move around, just type the direction you want to go, directions can be abbreviated:
NORTH to N, SOUTH to S, EAST to E, WEST to W, NORTHEAST to NE, NORTHWEST to NW, SOUTHEAST to SE, SOUTHWEST to SW, UP to U, and DOWN to D. IN and OUT, ENTER and LEAVE will also work in certain places.

Object Interaction
Every item in the game can be EXAMINE'd, this will always provide you with a more detailed description of the object. In some cases it will also provide you with a clue to its usage. Other items can be used or combined to make new ones.

e.g. Examine Wreck - will do just that.

Other commands are:

LEVER object
SLEEP object
GET object
DROP object
THROW object

This adventure is an evolving puzzle, you will need to explore, to draw a map and to record the objects that you find. Try to look for clues and combine objects to make new ones.

The best top I can give is read the descriptions of both locations and objects carefully, there are plenty of clues tucked away!

I hope this helps!
