Thanks a lot! I kept getting lost...
Um, here's some help to those who can't figure out the commands (I couldn't so I had to figure this all out for myself):
To pause, click the small red button on the top right. To view the menu, press F1 or click the small blue button on the top left. Take note: there is only ONE game save slot so be careful!
On biggest view, press A and click the city you want to get to.
In a city, you can use the mouse to move (LMB to go where you click, hold RMB to keep moving) or the keyboard (arrow keys). To use or examine an object of your inventory, choose your fighting style, or drop something, press A or click the fist on the right (or just click Conan). To see your current status, press S or click the face on the right (the fighting style with a * before it is your currently selected fighting style). To view your inventory, press D or click the backpack on the right. To enter a building, get as close to the door as you can and either go into it with the up arrow key or right-click the door (can be tricky). To interact with a character, bump into them and a menu will show up. Some characters just stand still or walk around, but beware: those that follow you want to mug you and a fight will start as soon as you touch them (i.e. if your stamina is low run away from those!).
In a building or during a fight, you switch to side view. It's easiest to use just the keyboard then, but you can still use the mouse if you like. Use the left and right arrow keys (or hold the RMB and move it to where you want to go) to move. To unsheath your sword, use the down arrow key (sorry mouse lovers, there's no other way). To attack (be sure you've selected the correct fighting style, but you can change that during the battle by pressing A) use the up arrow key or LMB on your enemy. Be sure to search (LMB) the bodies of those you kill, they may have things you need in their pockets (like maps, money or keys). To search a room, click every object the might conceal something (including all pots, boxes, crates, barrels, stools, horns, carpets, et cetera) and an object might appear at your feet. To pick it up, just click it. Be careful: if your stealth is below 70%, valuable items (like gemstones, teleport spells and lotuses) you pick up might make a noise and attract passing guards. If this happens you'll go to jail and lose all your "hard-earned" money.
For a start, don't do any difficult quests right away. Rob all houses in sight, train as much as possible, spend wisely, sell all gems and precious things you find (EXCEPT YOUR SWORD AND THE JADE KEY!!!), and keep all the maps you get (selling them isn't worth it). Once you're learned Thrust, a good place to start is the Underground, but first go to the Temple of Adonis, the priest on duty will give you a map.
Enjoy!
