Ok, I've been playing the game, but so far the game has been completely different from the pictures on the review page on this website. For some reason the Amazons are making me do housework and I never saw a picture of Gretchen on the bed. Is there some sort of "G-rating" setting that I might accidently have the game on? I have to say that I felt a bit cheated by the time I got to the Amazon chapter...

Make sure you have "adult mode" turned on

(Check the review/this thread for details on how).

I'm having some trouble with the text in the game. After reading the first part of a long message, then I press any button for <more>, it skips to the end of the text. Meaning I can't read anything that appears in between. Is there a certain button I'm supposed to be pressing?

You should click your mouse to read more text. if you press any keyboard (like "enter") it means you have given command to the game then it will drag you the end of the paragraph (the arrow key as well... because the game will recognize you as you've chosen command in the list in command box).

When you would like to give command, you should ckick on DO button on the screen. It will not take you to the last line like press "enter".

It may be not so quick like typing but this is the only way to avoid that effect.

This is a truly annoying game. I hate games where you die constantly for no apparent reason. I never managed to leave the city, even with a walkthrough. I have deleted the game, and I will never touch it again.

Lousy game.

Ahh spellcasting 101, the fond memories. Tho I always loved the Discworld game.

"I am now going to say a series of words, tell me when I have reached the one that irritates you"

"ook"

"monkey"

"OOOK"
THUMP!

Be patient, guy... This one is very good text adventure game with a lot of humours and nice pictures to play. I guarantee that it's worth for playing. k:

There are a lot of jokes in it such as "D&D" that become "Mall&Muggers" in the dorm hall... This make me like this game so much.

If you try various command, you will find some answers or some jokes instead...

However, you said that you used walkthrough but coldn't pass chapter 1? Which one did you use? The same one posted at here? That walk through is very precise answer.

At the start of the game, some guy with a whip comes along and drags me away. The game ends there. I have followed a walkthrough, I don't remember which one, but that is not important. The fact that I cannot walk around and explore at my own pace, but have to do things in a particular order, and perhaps even within a given time limit, is what has put me off this game. I don't want to keep saving games with every progress I make, and restore from the same point ten times before I get it right. I have played that kind of games before, and they are quite simply annoying. I don't mind dying in adventure games, but only if it's my own fault, and I usually learn by my mistakes, and don't make the same error twice. I have been dragged away by this guy ten times now, and I still don't know what I am doing wrong (other than palying this game).

Try running it in Dosbox, it worked for me.

I also had this opinion at first. The beginning can be very annoying since there's no time for mistakes, but as soon as you figure out what to do it's quite fun (and funny)
Also, you can freely explore at your own pace after the beginning.
