The aim of the game is to find the exit somewhere in the maze. Press F1 in the game for full instructions.

The file HALL_OF_SHADOWS.INI must be in the same directory as the main program for it to run properly. All save game files and screenshots will appear in this directory.

Controls:

Control your player using the arrow keys or a game pad. The character will stop walking once you release the arrow keys or center the joystick. 

Mouse control is available, to use it. Move the mouse pointer to the square beside your character and he/she will walk in that direction. Move the tip of the mouse pointer onto the character to stop walking.

Press M in the game to see the automap. This is not available in the 350 by 350 maze.

V to see a minimap of the local area.

F1 takes you to a help screen.

The blue arrows in the top right of the screen are CD player controls.

Esc to quit the game.

Please let me know of anything that does not work properly in this game, especially control problems or if it runs slowly.

Created using Game Maker 5.3a

Thanks to all the sources of sounds and images used in this game.

This game should run on any reasonably modern computer with a Windows operating system and standard sound and graphics cards.

If the game does not run:

1) Check all sound and video drivers are up to date
2) Install the latest version of DirectX. This game was tested on version 9 and 9B
3) Set your screen resolution to 1024 * 768. The game will attempt to set your screen to these parameters if it is not already using them. Most video cards can handle this, but a few cannot.
3) Some browser programs can can cause problems when game maker files are running. Shut down browsers and any other large programs running on your computer.

If you find a bug or the game causes an error while loading or playing, contact me and tell me what happened. Write down the error message if there is one.

A bug might be something like mazes sometimes do not work properly. Adversaries don't behave properly, walking through walls etc. Perhaps the graphics and sound aren't right. Tell me about any bugs you find and what sort of machine you were running the game on. I like my games to work perfectly if possible, so I will fix anything major.

Known bugs:

Sometimes the game does not save properly on 350 by 350 level. Either save frequently to a different game slot from last save (so as not to lose the last good save) or play at a lower level to avoid this problem.

So don't complain, you got a free game and I think a pretty good one. Once upon a time I had to pay good money for an old copy of ZX Spectrum Space Invaders or some old rubbish, this is much better and free so enjoy!
