Object

The object of the game is to retrieve the seven lost amulets within one week's time. The amulets may be found in seven different realms which may be reached through seven magic portals in the town. Each realm has multiple areas, each area is more dangerous than the last. The amulet will not be in the first area in the realm, you will have to venture farther out through more portals.

You have one day to find each amulet. There is a clock on your screen counting up to 24:00. If the clock reaches 24:00, the game is over. Every time you bring a new amulet back to the town, the clock resets to 00:00. You may retrieve the amulets in whatever order you wish.

Playing Field

The playing field is divided into five sections: Map, Pack, Stats, Messages, and Amulets.

MAP:

You are represented on the map by the "@" symbol. You can move around on the map using letter keys, number pad, or arrow keys. (See keyboard commands below)

STATS:

This section shows you important information about how you are doing in the game. Here are the statistics:

PACK:

This area displays all of the objects currently in your possession. Each object is shown with its symbol and its description. Each object in your pack may be used in various ways. Click on the object to see a drop-down list of possible actions. Select an action in the list to perform that action.

MESSAGES:

Messages will appear in this window to tell you what is going on in the game. New messages appear in the top line of this window; older messages scroll down below it. Each message is preceded by a timestamp. The window will show only the last 20 messages. It is important to keep an eye on these messages!

AMULETS:

Each amulet successfully retrieved from its realm and returned to the town will appear in the amulets window. When all seven spaces are filled, you win the game.

Keyboard commands

You can move in the 8 compass point directions by using the number pad (8 for north, etc) or by using the classic Rogue movement keys, hjkl for west, south, north, east, and yunm for the diagonals. You can also use the cursor keys (arrow keys) to move in the 4 cardinal directions.

Note: In order for your key commands to be recognized, the Seven Day Quest screen must have your keyboard "focus". If you find that the screen is not responding to your key presses, click the mouse on the "focus" button to return focus to the window.
