1. INSTALLATION

The first thing you'll have to do is to insert the CD into the CDROM drive of your computer. The “Jazz and Faust” installation program will start automati cally. Then simply answer the questions asked by the program and follow the instructions that appear on the screen. If the installation program fails to run automatically use Windows Explorer to find the Autorun.exe file and double click it with your mouse. After installation is completed, the game will start.

2. SETUP OPTIONS

The Setup Options window is displayed when the game is started for the first time, when restarting after a crash, or when you launch the config.exe from the installation folder. If you have a highend computer, you'll want to take full advantage of the beautiful artistry and rich color scheme. Particular attention has been paid to special effects and the interplay between light and shadow. If you wish to increase the speed of the game, you may “switch off” some of the 3D effects displayed in the Setup Options window.

The tick mark in the corresponding box of the Setup window will mean the following:

3. MAIN MENU

NEW GAME — clicking here enables you to choose a character and start a

new game.

LOAD — a click here will load any of the “saved games”. SAVE — this operation saves a current state of the game — just print a name

of the saved game in a specially designed place and press “Enter”.

OPTIONS — select this option to change both sound and graphic settings of

the game.

EXIT — if are tired of rushing over locations or feel exhausted by longlast ing dialogues with numerous NPCs you can click here and find longawaited rest — you'll quit the game and return to Windows.

4.3. How to control the character

You can move your hero by simply clicking the left mouse button on the place you have chosen — your hero will go straight there. To speed up the action, double click and your hero will start moving to the location at a run. To take any active object and place it into your Inventory just click on it with left button of your mouse. (You can find out if it's active or not by transforming the “cursor arrow” into “cursorhand”. You'll be able to get some very useful information about the object. Please refer to clause 4.5 “Cursors”).

4.4. Controls

If you are tired of using the Main Menu you can easily load or save the game with the help of the following hotkeys:

Esc — pressing this key either calls out the Main Menu or brings you back to the game.

F5 — supplies you with a “quick save” function.

F6 — makes quick load easy.

F7 — loads autosave mode (the game is automatically saved while moving to the other location).

F11 — reduces color spectrum.

F12 — enlarges color spectrum.

4. GAME PLAY

4.1. First five minutes of the game

Having watched a nice intro movie, rich with picturesque scenes showing stately frigates floating in the sea, camelcades passing in the deserts and innumerable riches of the East glittering in halfruined treasuries, you'll find yourself in a Medieval tavern and see the characters Jazz and Faust sitting at the table and talking. It's time to start playing the game! By choosing one of the two main characters the game can be started in two different ways! Simply point your cursor to one of the heroes and you will see that the character cho sen is lit in a special way and will wave his hand to you. Now you must decide whose story you want to know first — the story of Jazz or the story of Faust. After you have chosen your hero, you simply need to click on him with the left button of your mouse — and the game will start!

4.2. How to start the game

Having chosen your hero, you must fulfill the quest of the chosen character. You CANNOT play for the other one. For example, if you have chosen Faust and played for him for some time you CANNOT start playing for Jazz until you finish walking through the storyline for Faust. You CAN meet the other char acter by chance and help him to solve some difficult problems — for example, to save him from slavery or to defeat an enemy whose unfriendly and aggres sive behavior threatens accomplishment of your plans. The end of the game is the same for the both heroes but in either case you must fulfill various unusual tasks and find your hero in unforeseen situations — so you won't get bored while playing.
