This game uses the classic Monkey Island I and II interface.
Left clicking somewhere on the screen will move the hero to that point or if he can't reach it  close to that point.
Right clicking at an object will make the hero look there.
If you right click a character the hero will talk to him.

On the left side of the command panel are 4 buttons:
1. TAKE ( the hand ) : Pick up objects
2. INTERACT ( the hand holding a doll ): Used for interacting with objects, hotspots, inventory                        objects etc.
3. LOOK ( the eye) : Used for looking at things.
4. TALK ( the mouth ) : Used for talking with characters

On the middle is the inventory box.
The up arrow moves the inventory one line up ( if it's possible) and the down arrow one line down.
Right clicking on an inventory item will give a description of it.
To use an inventory item with a screen object ( hotspot etc ) click the INTERACT button then the inventory item and then the screen object ( hotspot etc).
To use a single inventory object click the INTERACT button and then click twice on the inventory object.

Next to the inventory box is the options button. Clicking on it will bring up the options screen where you could change the games speed, text speed, music and sound volume.

On the right side of the command panel 4 buttons.
1. SAVE ( disk with incoming arrow) : Save a game.
