Phantasmagoria Walkthrough - part 1

INTRODUCTION

This Walkthru has been written based on the *UNCENSORED* version
of "Phantasmagoria" and is intended only as a guide to enable you
to finish the game.  If you follow it "verbatim", you will miss
out on a lot of the small details and subtle changes that take
place and add to your enjoyment of the game.  It also assumes you
have read the manual that comes with the game.

There are certain things you should do every day, and which are
not included in this Walkthru.  You will notice a fortune-telling
machine in the Reception Hall.  Check it every day and notice that
it becomes more sinister as the game progresses.  You might also
want to periodically check behind the bar to see if anyone has
been nipping at the absinthe! There are two paintings in the
Conservatory on the third floor.  If you periodically look at the
large one, you will begin to notice subtle changes.  And if you

regularly inspect the rooms in the house, you will notice things
appearing and disappearing.

Directions to the various rooms in the house will only be given
the first time you visit them, so you may want to draw yourself a
floorplan so you don't get lost.  The same goes for the various
locations on the grounds.

"Phantasmagoria" uses an interactive cursor, which basically takes
the guesswork out of things because you no longer have the option
to examine or pick up objects.  Run your cursor across the screen
until it either highlights or becomes a direction arrow.  If it
highlights, click on your left mouse button and Adrienne will do
whatever is necessary for that action.  If the item is necessary
to progress in the game, it will appear in one of your inventory
boxes.  If not, Adrienne will put it back down. If your cursor
becomes a direction arrow, click on your left mouse button and
Adrienne will move in that direction.  If you are told to
"examine" "use" or *open* an item, simply run your cursor across
it until it highlights.

Whenever you want to use an item in your inventory, click on the
item to remove it and it will become your cursor.  When you are
finished with the item, you must return it to your inventory
before proceeding.

If you are able to talk to a character in the game, your cursor
will highlight when you run it over that character and will remain
highlighted until that person runs out of things to say.
