Thanks for the game gift, Jean.

Gameplay: This is a DVD game. After installing the game, a name and a serial number is required to finish the installation. The serial number is found inside the left cover and under the game disk. The game manual is found in the game disk in .pdf form. Read the manual to get more information about the game.

At the start of a new game, a Display and sound selection frame is seen. In Display: display device, colors (16 and 32 bit) and antialiasing (none, 2x, 4x, 6x) selections. For further trouble shooting, force 16 bit textures and force texture subdivision selection are shown. In Sound, the sound device of your computer can be selected.

This is a point and click game. At bottom right of the screen is a compass and shows where the lead character, Briggs is going.

The main game interaction is done through an interface called Ouija board. To show the Ouija board is accessed by right click of mouse on the screen. Click on S to save the game, L to load, T for toggling the subtitles, Q for quit and O for options. Left click of mouse exits the Ouija board. There are 4 icons at the corner of the Ouija board: skull for sense, skeleton for the main action in the game, like opening things, eye for examination of objects in the screen or inventory and hand to take things.

Another way to access the main screen is to press ESC key and the main menu will show: Back to hell (return to game, Resurrection (load), Save your soul (save game) and End is nigh (end the game).

Benjamin Spooner Briggs is the captain of the mysterious ship Mary Celeste. Mary Celeste was found floating with no man aboard in the Atlantic Ocean.

Limbo is the place that is between the world as we know it and the next place in the afterlife. You the gamer are the guide for a living mortal, Briggs; a tool of Destiny to show Fate that man has free will to make his own decision.

The Curious Tale of Capt. Benjamin Spooner Briggs

A poem by Inferno

Prologue -- The Dungeons

Avast ye, me hearties! While I spin a tale with no jest
Of the mysterious journey of the Mary Celeste.
A brigantine ship bound from New York town
to the shores of Italy, where she was bearing down.

Yet Fate had his eye on this jewel of the sea
He picked out the Captain and eyed him with glee.
“He will be my pawn in this game of life”
Then he spat as Fate swallowed his crew and his wife.

Then Destiny spoke and arose such a clatter
“You may use The Captain, but not yon ship for that matter.”
So the Celeste was at last found unmanned, yet sea worthy still
“Nilmates will I take for my pawn”, his first name was Bill.

“I’ll grant ye the Captain, but his soul remains mine”
Young Destiny said to his brother, with that the elder did whine.
“Enough of this nonsense, we’ll see” Said Fate with an evil look.
“He might keep his soul, if he puts the Seal with the Book!”

And so it doth start, the tale of Benjamin Briggs
Plucked from the ships railing, its sails and its rigs.
”He’ll start in the dungeons, let’s see what he’ll choose.”
But Destiny smiled on Briggs and sent him some clues.

Briggs awoke the next day, inside his cell
"Where am I?" asked the Captain.
"Just outside of Hell" The reply came from Arach,
who was not on the floor
And he bid him get up and unlocked the cell door.

"You are imprisoned by The Four",
Arach said a word to the wise.
But you are not alone, you have help
To sort the truth from the lies.

For a "Spiritual Guide" rides along with you, my friend.
Heed well what they bid,
for they’ll help you succeed in the end.
Then he placed his hand in his ear and pulled out a worm
And gave it to Briggs, who started to squirm.

So Briggs leaves his cell, and walks on down the hall
He learns about Grunger, the jailer of all.
He wanders the halls, meets a ghost who just in a rage
and soon happens by Billy Nilmates up in a cage.

Billy wrangles on and on about his captors and keep
The Captain does try, but soon falls fast asleep
Yet when he wakes, a damp torch he does find
He picks the thing up and backs out in kind.

Briggs meets up with Edd who’s a "head" of himself
You may laugh when you spy him in spite of yourself.
Edd tells the Captain to leave, he’ll need a key
But ‘tis around the neck of this great lump that ye see.

Edd tells Briggs to make a quick "Sleeping Draught"
Gives him a bottle, now Briggs is feeling quite daft.
But still he goes off stepping quietly in motion
And is now on a quest to create a nice Sleeping Potion.

They both decide since Grunger’s not eaten
Their plan just cannot be beaten.
Perhaps the good Captain could spike his “gruel”
So it’s off to the kitchens, but the cook is no fool.

She’s Grunger’s poor mum, Aye that’s just what she is.
She cooks up dead souls to make for his gruel.
But something is needed to complete her son’s meal
a dead arm or a leg, so find it with zeal.

Go to her larder where books are like her school
Ye’ll soon find a note which shows her how to make gruel
a pot filled with fat which is a good source of fuel
And another empty pot Briggs can use as sort of a tool.

Aye, this empty jar Briggs will find is a “snot pot”.
But you’ll find that it’s empty, But Grunger’s nose; it is not.
So fill it in close-up, it’s the best that the Captain can do
Jeez Louise, but this is a disgustingly bad sort of clue.

An arm for the pot? Did I really say that??
Burn the ropes near the wall
and Billy Nilmates falls flat
Collect the appendage and skull from where the cages sat.

Look to Cranny Faggot, she’s wise and she’s green
But the women of Limbo like their drink now betwixt and between.
So help Briggs make some tequila with water and worm,
An arm for the pot and a skull nice and firm.

Then ask for a sample and fill up the skull
Add the snot from the pot and the gruel now will mull.
Then it’s off to the jailer to give this sick brew to Edd
The key can be captured, there’s no more to be said.

So now with the key, Briggs can finally get out.
Find the large Oaken Door which is locked and about
And take heed and learn of what this level teaches
You're at Chapter One and The Lower Reaches.

Chapter 1 --- The Lower Reaches

Look to the "beds of endless rest"
The one on the left shows items for your behest.
The one on the right though it may be graven
Has bones for the hungry and an eye for the Raven.

The one on the left holds sailor type things
A ship’s wheel, an eye patch, a whistle which doesn’t sing.
Still take them all so there'll be nothing to lack
”Take what ye will; give nothing back”

Follow down the stair to The Keepers new lair
Where he’ll offer The Captain gifts three
Take one at a time, the effect is sublime
Choose the Spice first as Briggs gets it for free.

A ship's wheel and iron bar from a lose grate
Combine these two, then go back to the coffins to open a gate
A friend you'll uncover, and a "gift" from his back
Give this to O'Negus, or an entry you'll lack.

To open three doors might give you some pause
Yet where there’s a will there’s a way.
Each dog gets a bone
Then they’ll leave Briggs alone
As they back up the doors open and stay.

Send Briggs through Door One, so he will have some fun
With a coffin lid over some rotten boards.
Travel onward from there, you’ll find “Bugsy” somewhere
Though his eyes are cut, there were no swords.

Listen to “Bugsy’s” tale, and how he doth wail
Of the attack of his pet, The Woodgator.
Take the green bottle, then push the stone faucet’s throttle
Add the water and spice and I see all y’all later.

Go back to the main door where the dogs were before
And enter Door Three on the right.
Find Good Chief Blackhawk, how his pet it doth squawk
Like two pigs under a blanket held tight.

As David met Goliath, create one special tool.
Remember what happened at the Valley of Elah.
For once Briggs has fixed it, he know he’s no fool.
And Blackhawk will call him “a jolly good fella.”

On the way to the place where this Raven doth perch,
A statue resides, waiting the good Captain's lurch.
A container of gold, the prize, if his aim be true.
A liquid though thick will this vessel hold
'Tis an obvious clue.

Look to the Ravens, each a Siamese twin
Save the Good Chief from their cawing
And you'll find his good graces
Briggs soon will be in, if he ceases this incessant jawing.

As Goliath before David so stands the Raven on high
Make ready the "I" cannon, Take aim, let loose! Watch it fly!
A gift made of bones, will be yours soon to share
For soon Briggs will place The Woodgator there.

Now out of Door Three and back to Door One
Don’t you wish that The Captain was programmed to run?
Follow the trail and sooner or later we’ll come to the jail
Of the Lonely Woodgator!

A rusty chain in need of lubrication
Wood that is ground for the gator’s mastication.
These you must find so go back by the dogs' mouth
Walk down the stairs and then make Briggs go south.

Two urns will ye find of sawdust and oil
One Briggs can pick up but the other might spoil
So now use the gold cup, the one Briggs did toil
Take care so it won’t spill onto the soil.

Now put these together, combine as ye will
And soon Briggs will find the cage easy to fill.

Look to the cage for a place for the food.
Or less a bite which could be quite rude!
And once it is caught asleep should it be
As the Captain is squeamish and well should he be.

So how should this sleep, can the Captain incur?
A cover perchance, But where to procure?
Look to the dark, at bottom down left shall ye go!
And tear at the fabric and the beast won't be a foe.

The Captain, you know, is quite squeamish they say
When Creepies and Crawlies do pass his way.
So what have you found that might do the trick
To capture Bugsy’s last grub and not make him sick?

Nothing, I've Nothing! Is that what you cry?
Perhaps a trip to O'Negus will help you get by.
Use the bottle Billy gave you from the crack in his back
Briggs soon will gain entry, with nothing to lack.

Here at O’Negus, trade like for like.
Saffron for warrior, a cute little tyke.
Then look to the back room for another glass jug
So Briggs won’t be squeamish and pick up Bugsy’s last bug.

But first he must use something strong
to put ickle baby to sleep, for Briggs will not touch it
Yet in glass it might keep.
So back to The Keeper change “the Spice” for “the Drug”
Add cotton and glass to the mixture
Then catch that grub bug.

Then through Door Two, How will Briggs do
When he tries to pass by the Monster of Stone?
Give Briggs a brave soldier’s heart (or a warrior’s part)
To pass by the monster and leave it alone.

Then once in Dreamland tucked fastly away
On a sphere made of glass Briggs allows it to play.
Briggs needs the spear too, Yet he’s up to the task
But, what of the bug? Its shell might be a mask.

Look close at the grub after it dies
Odds Bodkins! It’s changing
To Lord of the Flies!

Now take it once more in the glass jar shall it linger.
And give it to one who’ll trade for a nail of a finger.
The tool of humanity will soon pick the lock
Four doors of insanity Won’t give ye a shock.

Three doors made of steel, and one made of wood
The spear will block one will the gator eat as it should?
So enter within though inventory may be slightly fewer
We’re at Chapter Two and this part’s called The Sewers.

Chapter 2 - The Sewers

The Sewers we find are not at all hell,
They thrive underneath Limbo's vast Citadel.
A region where lost souls breathe ‘tween life and fear,
A place which appears every 100 year.

Step from the alley then turn where the Game Master sits
He’s known as the Keeper and will hand ye a new bag o’ tricks.
The hint to a first “entry” though ye will spy thrice
Look fast for ‘tis fleeting, as he hands Briggs the dice.

So move on to the lift that’s marked with “666”.
And travel on down to the Sewers and pits.
Go out to the left and explore so ye will learn
And meet with Jethro Quagmire in a place that recalls Bothlin Burn.

Poor Quagmire’s shackled all by foot, mouth and hand.
Use a finger pointed at him, he’ll speak, though he stares at the sand.
If Briggs frees him twice more from chain and from ball
He offers the exits or not none at all.

So pick up the jaw clamp and follow on down
And then to the North in a clearing turn roun’
Go up past the clearing to see something silly
A man caught in the mud, Oh Gee! I think it’s our Billy!

Our Billy has something again in his back
He’ll give it if Briggs shakes a leg and offers his help
Though trying and pulling his leg Briggs doth crack.
A rusty sword is the gift from this hysterical whelp.

Now back from the clearing and back to the bog.
From the Shackled Soul who gave Briggs a clue
Four times to the north then to the east he must jog
To see the three exits is what Briggs must do.

The chamber he spoke of shows three exits there
To open the first one ye must have a care.
An item Briggs has with him will help ye decide
The opposite numbers then in he will glide.

Clue One spoke of numbers: The “opposing” of Six
And then the number of “Three”
Soon ye will find in Briggs shall he be.
Twice the Keeper did show Briggs
And well ye did see.

Into Sewer One is where Briggs must go
There is only one gate which will open, you know.
Look to Gate, It’s at the far right
The key is not far, and not out of sight.

'Tis guarded by a Monster Worm
It is a god of the sea.
Although its single eye might have ye squirm
Sightless soon it will be.

Let it attack, as it is just full of bluster
Then look to the ledge, Briggs' courage will muster.
We find on the edge, a rusty old key
Use this on the gate, and unlocked it may be.

Search here if ye will, but there’s nothing to see
Ye’ll use this room later, just wait and let be.
So do read the notice up here on the wall
But save it for later not for chain but a ball.

And don’t forget to check the left in Grate One
There’s much to find from that side here --- and wasn’t it fun?
First is the Worrymeister, who doth worry so
If Briggs visits him twice, he will make him go.

Now on to the rooms, where Thor’s Hammer doth sleep
Keep it for later or Briggs will surely weep.
Also a flute hide here made of wood.
‘Twill call the rats when you need them, if Briggs carves it real good.

You’ll need something else to accomplish this task
Once you find what you need in its glory you'll bask.
Brigg’s already has it, Quagmire’s first gift
Look and “action” it closely; you’ll notice its shift.

Now examine this new object
Yes, that's what you should do...
For looking at it closer
Will give the Captain an important clue.

Is there someone here annoying?
Someone who's not very kind?
Who, soon as Briggs tries to talk with him
He tosses Briggs out you'll find!

Perhaps if you direct the Captain
to sneak up from behind
And reach into the inventory
and somehow make him blind.

Then in this room, the Captain may search
to find things to free Quagmire from his stolid perch.
But a pen and an inkwell? This couldn’t be right.
How doth a pen free Quagmire from his sticky plight?

Just fill it with ink, then find something to bruise
The Guardian of The Gates! Aye, that’s the ticket!
Go find him again, then in his eye Brigg’s will flick it.

Go back to Quagmire, and free him from his shackles
He’ll offer Clue Two, just like Barney Hackles.
Clue 2 charges Briggs “Add it all up, It’s the only way to go.”
'Twill open Grate two and put on the rest of the show.
A ONE and a ZERO as you have surmised
The First and the Last Now don't be surprised.

So back to the grates, and try for Grate two
It’s really quite easy, to open the flue.
In does Briggs go to have a look ‘round
But take care to be nice to the souls that you have found.

In here we will find a gal known as Nora Ratty
She does like her drink, and she’s really quite batty.
But likes Briggs she does, and oft tells him so.
“When you need me, just whistle: put those lips together and blow!”

So find her a drink, a bottle of hooch.
Could this be the love interest?
Nah, Briggsy’s scared of the smooch.
Look to the bar for the rum and you’ll see
And do take the cutters, or Quags won’t give Briggs Clue Three.

Before we leave here a boat ye may find
'Tis low in the water, but have presence of mind.
Briggs must raise the level, but first plug the drain
Twill be his exit from here, if he doesn’t first go insane.

Great Quagmire free, soon disappears quick
But as he leaves an iron ball he will kick.
A gift he will give to open Grate Three, its metal with prongs like a thistle
But Briggs can't pass through, so what should he do?
I guess he'll just have to stand there and whistle.

For the ball is too heavy, (like a '69 Chevy)
So you see he needs some assistance
Here come Nora's rats, Thank God, there're no cats!
to offer it any resistance.

So into the First Grate with the "Hammer of Thor"
Through the Power room gate and down to the Spigot.
Thor’s Hammer he'll pound, then the steam will expound
and move this ball with the speed of a frigate.

Now what to do? Has Briggs tried Sewer Two?
Find the Ball and then call back the rat!
Pull the drunk with the chain, hit the control pad again
And then tell Briggs to hold on to his hat.

Now the Water is high, to the boat Briggs should fly
Help him in so he can quickly row.
There's no question or care, 'cept to get out of there
It's all done like a box with a bow.

Sit back, your work all is done. Now wasn't that fun?
So heave to with a sigh and a sneer
Go ahead, relax for a minute you'll see
For you're now in Chapter 3 which is known as Darkmere.

Chapter 3 Darkmere

Briggs rows the boat
'Till port he makes here.
Snow falls, yet 'tis warm
In the town of Darkmere!

Worrymiester so shall ye meet
Upon the dock so purloin.
The first victim soon shall he be
As he gives Briggs three coin.

A child will accuse
So, Briggs needs to peruse
his composure as he'll be thought guilty by many.
He'll need to beware,
Seek an ally in the Square
For time, he just doesn't have any.

So, off to Town Square
Briggs goes with some care
and meets with a man who is blind.
Though true he can't see
His wisdom's not free
Three coins will gain knowledge of mind.

A silver chain you will need, for the capture to succeed
You'll find it way down Cutters Place.
Look through the snow on the ground
for the chain to be found
Now hurry! Catch up with the chase.

The Inn is the place
Where Briggs should give chase
And seek out the Deputy Mayor.
Yet, things are not as they seem
This is one nasty dream!
And he finds himself in a Barred Lair.

How to get out? There's no reason to pout
As Billy clues you with poise
"Empty vessels make the most noise".
Take the cup and make noise for the jailer.
A supper he'll offer...
Yuk! Oh just take the darned coffer.
Though if Briggs eats it he soon will grow paler.

So? Give it to whom?
No one else in the room!
True, but what of the window, young squallies?
See who might be there
No; Briggs won't need a chair
Look! It's the man who loves those "creepy crawlies"!

Offer the pot and likely as not
"A Gift for A Gift" he may say.
Wait a few moments in all
Briggs will go to Town Hall
Soon he'll be freed and well on his way.

Now the Mayor will charge him thereafter
With the Soul Taker’s capture
He'll provide Briggs a notebook and map so well put.
With these tools of the trade
A detective is made
Better hurry for "The Game is a foot".

Look to the notebook to see what to do
There be plenty of items to get for a clue.
The map is the key
Though four keys you'll need find
to open some doors and catch the Soul Taker's behind.

Now Victim Two does quickly appear
It's the Deputy Mayor!
See his face filled with fear!
Look at the clues! Match "sign" and "foot".
A rubbing perhaps made from paper and soot?

Look to your map for a type of "junk store"
Talk to the lady, but notice the hearth near the floor.
Two items to use for evidence to take at the Stable.
Have Briggsy do it as soon as he's able.

A "picture" he's made, though his fingers be sore.
What could it mean? You've seen it before!
A symbol, a sign, a footprint --- it matches all three
Look to the map – ‘twill show who needs to see.

This tradesman you find
Recognizes the "sign"
Four pairs he's created and given
To the Blind man were shown
but the owners, unknown
He did take them as he was bidden.

But have ye no fear
though blind, he could hear
Though sightless, still had sense of smell:
Of the paddock and field
And of what death doth yield
Rang true as the toll of a bell.

Yet in knowledge there's danger
so found this blind stranger.
And better for these four he is slain.
Of the clues he had three
Gee, now what could they be?
A parchment, an orb and a cane.

Look to the map -- to the Blacksmith's mayhap.
and study the clues Briggs has found.
Look carefully at them as well as the victim
who lies there frozen in pose on the ground.

To the Blacksmith Briggs goes
To see what he knows.
"Try the Skurge brothers, Billy and Danny."
The Abattoir and Stable is theirs,
Hmmm, things do run in pairs...
It's a clue but you're soon to find many.

But let’s take a pause, and to the Registrar because
It's nice to be kind to the wearies.
See the Worrymiester scratched through
and a reference to who?
Oh, Bless --- as the Captain's heart queries.

He spoke of a lass who he did not like to pass
Could it be the lady who owns the Pie Shoppe?
Though they're put out each day
No one eats them they say
full of mince? or full of "meat slop"?

Seven souls for one soul
Of this, the Captain's been told
More than once if you're paying attention.
So, continue you'll find as these clues will unwind
That the cure is an ounce of prevention.

Now, Danny 'tis said has shoes full of lead
But jobs he has –well, there are three.
The Abattoir is one and the Stables to run
and the Prison, he does that for free.

So, off to the Prison, cross that off your list
and then to the Abattoir which is locked.
But near the Stables is where
you'll find more evidence there
of the fields where no fields are blocked.

Yet, now what of Danny? Is he with his Aunt Fanny?
Have you tried O’Negus' house of Pawn?
Yes, Danny is there -- so, pull up a chair.
And listen to the tale that our Danny will yawn.

But as Briggs gets out, something hits with a clout.
Pick it up, as it's an important "jinn".
Laura sends him a line, we can read it just fine
It says simply "There's more than one way Inn".

Skurge said that O'Negus (who’s getting quite famous)
and Billy are out with the Mayor.
So off to Town Hall -- why not? Go pay a call.
Just climb the stair and speak with the bear.

Then on to the office to hear Briggs' theory.
"It's the work of the four, and we don't think it's more"
Said the Captain who looks rather cheery.
A new place on the Map, get familiar perhap?

The Society Hall, but none there at all
Save The DoGooders and a victim which makes the sum four
So back to the hall, where the Cobbler did fall
Find the glasses and an apron of leather
'Tis odd it still seems,
in this town of strange dreams.
There is snow though they're having warm weather.

We've seen glasses before,
on one who can't see though she wore.
Perhaps these are the glasses she'd use?
Would the Bric a Brac Shoppe be your next stop?
Or might these items be meant to confuse?

Yet the lass is not there, and there's nothing to find
So it’s back to the map to choose your next place.
Remember the note? Who she was; what she wrote?
Perhaps little Laura will help you give chase.

The Blacksmith, her father would speak
and he doesn't sound meek --
though cautious for those who tell, die.
There's a place down the lane, to a person quite sane
Who’ll say more and it isn't a lie.

So, please use your map -- there's no time for a nap.
For you'll find that the Mystic's your mentor.
She speaks of a "Wall" --- it's not nonsense at all,
To gain entry use left -- right -- and center.

Now Danny Skurge does appear, and we'll lend him an ear
As he tells of the fifth victim's demise.
Briggs follows him there, straight to Town Square
Where the dead is Ms. Hudson, the maker of pies.

Return to the Square, learn of evidence there.
In Briggs' bag you find new items three.
A hat and a cork which says "SIN"
Could it be from the Inn?
And a label says "I" that's attached to a key.

Think of what you have learned, your grey matter has burned.
"There's more than one way Inn"
A cork that is written with "SIN"
and a Label with "I" attached to a key.
Use these three for a clue and you'll know what to do.
Find the Inn and prepare for a stormier sea.

Once inside you will find an entry hidden behind
Something large made with wood, nails and tar.
It holds many dangers
like "free drinks for strangers"
Need a hint? It's the Inn of Sinn Bar!

So, now down Briggs does go
to the tunnels below.
Where there be clues and items to find.
You're under the ground, another entrance is found
to the "Hall" if you don't lose your mind.

There are keys to exchange
and costumes quite strange.
Take them all as its evidence to handle.
Briggs feels The Soul Taker will soon meet its maker
But first acquire a light and a candle.

Now, take the time to consider this rhyme:
Check the name of the keys Briggs' exchanged thus.
One is marked "O"; and the other an "S", don't 'cha know?
So off to the Stables and then to the Shoppe of O'Negus.

So, 'tis off to the Stables as soon as Briggs' able.
Use the key and let us go in wily nily.
Find a man in this place, his skin gone from his face
Then hide near the door and listen to Danny and Billy.

Wait till they leave, then right back to perceive
a small button we saw when Briggs hid behind barrels and bend.
By the door its right here, far away things appear
Where are they now? Perhaps 'tis the Wall at Dead End.

But for now, leave this be and look to the key
with the "O" for the Shoppe of the Pawn Maker.
No one to be found so have Briggs look around
Find two things to help solve the Mystery of the Soul Taker.

Look in Briggs' bag, to see what he has
that might actually act as a double.
Those glasses in there, you now have two pair
Where's that lady for whom seeing is trouble?

Remember the Manual, I trust you have read
"Trust No one!" I do believe it had said.
To the Bric a Brac Shoppe but don't make any passes
See how she reacts when Briggs gives her the wrong glasses.

"She's done quite enough!", you hear Briggsie say
He'll then leave by the door, yet make him go back the same way.
When he does she is gone, the glasses weren't needed to see.
Look to the floor and pick up the key.

The key has a label marked with an "A"
So back to the map, and then to the Abattoir to make it OK.
Here the smell of death can be found
Pick up the key, then have a quick look around.

This is a key now marked with a "C".
Two places with "C" the map does remit.
Yet if you try them, no place will it fit.
So logic will tell that it's for the place still unknown
Off to Dead End and see what Briggs might be shown.

Here at the Wall in the Dead End,
Recall what the Mystic said by her word.
Three things must he do, of this you've already heard.
Push the blocks in the right order, the correct sequence
Can't recall what it was?
Its somewhere in this poem, now don't get so tense.

If the sequence is right, an entry opens for you.
Enter with might for the very last clue.
Now use the key on the door that you see
The Registrar's next, is what Briggs will surmise
He runs back to Danny who’s still in the jail.
"Jailer, summon all Darkmere to meet, I have a surprise."

He uncovers the four and unmasks the Soul Taker.
He plays like Watson and Holmes at 22b Baker.
Sit back and watch, as Briggs acts out the scene
Then it's on to the next: Chapter 4 The Machine.

Chapter 4 -- The Machine

The Captain's inventory
Is missing it seems!
Not so, Click to the left
It will appear like a dream.

First, fix the circuits, with a wire found.
'twill make a connection
For Briggs to be travel bound.
A map from the wall, will he need to put forth this tale
Then the train will carry him with whistle and wail.

Traverse the circle,
Pay heed to one; in this do not fail.
Do as he bids,
Fix the bridge and the rail.

Remember The Captain
Sometimes gets in the way
Guide him to move
So your "discoveries" might play.

Some things hide in plain sight of Limbo's gloom
Others prefer its "dark".
The "former" is used heal an impending doom,
The "latter" is where you will find its mark.

A skull shall ye find
with teeth gleamed and glitter.
Briggs must play the Dentist,
Though taste may prove bitter.

The track is now fixed
So, go ride the train
Connect all the links,
or the Heart might be in pain.

A last task shall ye do to fix The Machine.
Three parts will be needed and fitted.
“Dr. Briggs to surgery!”, The Janitor’s voice doth careen.
Move fast lest none be acquitted.

A patch made of metal, cables both black and red
The patch is a square and the cables are thread.
And something to find in a Tower you'll tour
A metal hinge Pin, inside a gate and down on the floor.

The Heart Room is where this procedure takes place.
With the Janitor assisting, such amazing grace!
Now once this is done to the platform ye scurry
Jump on it at once, on to Chapter Five - The Citadel Briggs will hurry.

Chapter 5 -- The Citadel

Here on a pentagram, there’s no time to rest.
Look carefully around, for right of the last barrel is best.
Pick up the “knocker” before Briggs goes in
Look at it closely … my word, what a sin!

The Citadel now holds a statue inside
With slots one through four for things to abide.
Look to the symbols of the plaque on the floor
Study them well, until ye are sure.

Look to the left, two doors ye will see
One be for Greed the other Gluttony.
Search the main hall for more of the same,
There’re seven in all and each has its own name.

Up left will be Sloth, its neighbor's named Envy;
Up right is for Lust and next Pride’s door 'twill be.
But far to the east if ye find right the path
Lies the seventh door, and its name is Wrath.

Seven Knockers for Seven Sins must be found
Before Briggs can go To "Reaches Unbound".
Yet to find these items where should Briggs go?
Look to the steps on the right and the Captain will know.

Four emblems are here, take one of each kind.
Then turn to the south, for a hall is in mind.
Look carefully at the crack in the floor
where Gluttony doth hide the knocker for its door.
Continue on through to the light of a candle
We’ll be needing the wax but not the handle.

The next hall we’ll see divides both east and west.
I’ll let ye discover which way might be best.
To the west lies a manuscript taped to the wall
It holds quite a clue, if nothing at all.

Look to the four seals to figure this out.
Use the candle with each, of this Briggs has no doubt.
Now back to the east, and be wary of rock.
Search for the item ‘twill let Envy’s door knock.

The four doors behind Briggs, the horsemen call home
Famine, Pestilence, War and Death not far shall they roam.
Yet these doors are all locked, but shall soon yield us shrift.
For the tale’s told in the west, on yon manuscript.

Then back to the slots of Death’s Statue in kind.
For to use the wax seals with the Statue will bind.
Go back to the east, where the four horsemen abide.
We find the doors opened. Search quickly,
so none have their ride.

Gather one of the four knockers from each room and quarter.
Briggs now will own seven to prepare for the slaughter.
Apply the right knockers to each wooden door
Lest the portal not open. Now this, Briggs would abhor.

The soul they say,
Hides in the light of one's eyes
Remember their colors
'Twill serve ye clockwise.

Many hints I have given
And none shall ye mock
Most important of all
Is read like a clock.

The shield is a reference, for once the Time starts.
The order prior to this makes no difference.
Be wise, save your game 'afore the last knocker parts
Use your knowledge as it is an inference.

Now read the shield just like a clock
For the rooms that the Captain will seek.
"Time's of the Essence", the Soul-Timer did mock.
Better start moving, or Briggs will grow weak.

Look to the lintels for the symbols ye need
Remember the shield order or else Briggs will bleed.
The order was given before the last door did quake.
I hope ye be watching, at least for your sake.

Each room of seven has one symbol to view
The lintels and colors are a clue to perceive.
The shield holds the order for each room's review,
Use the hand, lock the symbol, then the room Briggs must leave.

Or else the endgame
Play ye more times over
'Till ye get it right
And you’re sitting in clover.

And when this is done,
A Ouija game it must be
Will The Captain succumb to his "Fate"
or choose his "Destiny"?

Chapter 2

The Sewers

In inventory are the Seal of Sufferance, Keeper's welcome note, (warrior's soul) glass vial that glows and Arach's fingernail.

Keeper: Go to bottom screen.

Turn to the right and talk to the keeper. He gives baubles of luck and magic (dice).

Briggs rolls the dice and it always comes up the same number.

Shaft No. 666: Go right (south) to where the Keeper disappeared.

Go to the back stairs and up to the elevator shaft.

It goes down with no way back up. Go forward down the stairs.

Swamp: Go left (south) 4 times.

Quagmire: Talk to a man that has his mouth covered by metal; his hands manacled and feet in ball and chains.

Use-click Arach's fingernail on Quagmire. The metal mouth cover is released.

Quagmire states that there are 3 exits from this place. The first can be opened by using the opposite of 6 with 3.

He will tell the answers to the other 2 exits if his other 2 imprisonments are removed.

Take the iron jaw clamp on the ground.

William Nilmates: Go to bottom of screen (east and then north) twice and then go up to top of screen.

See Nilmates sunken in a bog. Briggs pulls his leg off. Nilmates was thrown there from the Inn of Sin. He gives Briggs a rusty dagger.

Go back to Quagmire by going down and then left.

3 metal vents: Go right (north) 4 times and be back at the stairs area. Go right (east) through an entryway on the right wall.

Left metal vent: Look close at the left metal vent and see clamps encircling the vent.

The clue given by Quagmire is 'The first can be opened by using the opposite of 6 with 3.' In a dice, the opposite of 6 is 1. 1 with 3 = 4.

But I found that several solutions can open this metal vent: Click on top small clamp and the large clamp next to it clockwise or click the top small clamp and the second small clamp clockwise or click on all small clamps right of reset at bottom going to top counter clockwise. There might be more solutions. This can be because we're lucky due to the dice?

Sewer 1: Go through the left open vent. Check the metal gate at the back and see that it is locked.

Worrymeister:    Go top left, down, down at next tunnel and left. See the sign 'Office of Woe'.

Click on the door and talk to the Worrymeister. The Worrymeister is worried about Onegus. Look around.

In inventory, look close at the metal jaw clamp. See that it has gag and blind settings. Use-action the metal jaw clamp and it will turn to a metal blindfold. See that Arach's fingernail is now broken.

Use-click the metal blindfold on the Worrymeister. He runs off.

Open the desk drawer. Take the fountain pen and the ink pot. Exit the room.

Office of Death:    Outside the building, go right. Go to bottom of screen (below Office of Woe sign).

See a large sickle beside the picture of Death. Go left and enter the library.

Go left and enter a living area. Go right to the bedroom. To the right of the picture of Death riding a horse is a desk.

On top of the desk is a piece of wood. Take the wooden flute - piece of wood. Move the cursor slowly to find the active spot.

War & Destruction room:    Go right and take Thor's hammer from the floor.

Exit the room, bedroom, library and then office to get back to sewer.

Guardian of the Gates:     Go right, up, right, up, right and be back at the locked metal gate.

Go right twice and then down. See a giant one eyed worm rise up and then try to get to Briggs.

Take the rusty key from the ledge of its hole.

In inventory combine fountain pen and ink pot to get filled fountain pen.

Exit the place. Go back to the guardian's hole. Immediately use the filled fountain pen on its eye or at the worm itself.

Take the nib of the fountain pen that broke off on the ledge.

Go left twice and then down to exit the sewer.

Swamp: Go left and down to get back to the swamp. Go left 4 times to get to Quagmire.

Second release of Quagmire: Use the nib of the fountain pen on Quagmire.

Quagmire gives the second clue. Add it all up; it's the only way to go.

3 metal vents: Go right (north) 4 times and be back at the stairs area. Go right (east) through an entryway on the right wall.

Middle metal vent: Look close at the middle metal vent and see clamps encircling the vent.

The clue given by Quagmire is 'Add it all up, it's the only way to go.'

Again there are several answers to this one. The easiest is top right (1) and then the topmost (0).

Sewer 2: Go through the middle open vent.

Office:    Go forward or bottom screen 3 times and be in an office.

See a slumped drunk man on the desk. Take the glass bottle on floor in front of the desk. Look at the bottle in inventory.

Take the fishing line from the floor.

Go to bottom screen and be in dining area and kitchen. Take the metal cutter from the table.

Go to the kitchen area and then go left to the wine storage. Use-click glass bottle on the dripping metal tap (keg) at left to get bottle of Hooch.

Exit the kitchen and office to be under a metal hatch.

Boat:    Go right and see a boat on dry canal. There's an open drain at the center of the canal. Exit and go left.

Nora Ratty:    At the big room, go right and meet Nora Ratty and her rats.

Talk to Nora. She will help Briggs, if she gets a drink.

Go back and give her the Bottle of Hooch. She said to whistle when ready for help of her furry friends. Briggs doesn't know how to whistle.

Exit sewer 2 and be back to the other side of the metal vent.

Swamp: Go left and down to get back to the swamp. Go left 4 times to get to Quagmire.

Third release of Quagmire: Use the metal cutter on Quagmire. He gives the last clue - shape of this implement.

Quagmire gives the metal circular device. He kicks the ball away and leaves the chain. The chain can not be picked up.

3 metal vents: Go right (north) 4 times and be back at the stairs area. Go right (east) through an entryway on the right wall.

Right metal vent: Use-click the metal circular device on the right metal vent. It opens but can not be entered.

See the ball of Quagmire at bottom right in front of the vent. Hmm...

Raise the boat:

Block the drain in the canal:    The ball of Quagmire can be useful if it can be brought there.

Whistle for Nora's friends:     In inventory combine the rusty knife and the wood flute to get wooden flute with holes.

Use-action icon the wooden flute in inventory. Indiana Jones, Briggs is not. See the big rat come; take the ball and go through the vent.

Move the ball again:    Enter the left vent.

Go right 3 times and see the locked door of the pump room. Use the rusty key from guardian on door.

Go down and see the ball behind the stairs at right. Read the note on the wall. Okay.

Go to the right and see a big wheel. Use Thor's hammer on the wheel. It releases a steam of gas and the ball rolls out of sight. This releases water to the canal.

Exit the pump room and go back to the metal vents.

Move the ball another time:    Enter the middle vent and then go to bottom screen. See the ball at left has rolled here. Thanks, Ana.

Use-action the whistle to call Nora's pet. I love that song. The rat takes the ball another time. Where? I don't know.

Check the boat:    Go to bottom screen and then right to the canal. See that the pump released water here.

The water is still draining and the drain is still open.

Hit the ball:    Go back to the right and then go down to the office.

Use the chain to pull the drunken man off the control panel.

Use the control panel. Somewhere in the sewer, see the ball get hit by a big cricket bat.

Enter the boat and Briggs rows.

Chapter complete.

Chapter 3

Darkmere

Cutter's Alley: Briggs rows to Darkmere. The snow is falling.

Worrymeister: A worrymeister greets Briggs and gives him the gift from a friend.

He walks away but is met by a soul taker. The worrymeister is petrified. A young girl mistakes Briggs as the Soul Taker. Look at the gift in inventory. The gift given is 3 old coins. There is a strange mark on the coin.

Look close at the petrified worrymeister. Take the metal chain (to soul bottle) beside the body. Look close at the chain in inventory.

Town Square: Go forward and left to the town. The bell tolls the curfew on the town.

Blind beggar: The beggar after sniffing him tells Briggs that he can give him advice for the price of a dram.

Give-click coins on the beggar. Golden chains and hands unseen will help you find your taker.

Briggs asks about the name Darkmere. Click coins on the beggar. Darkmere is named after the malevolent place that lies below the town.

Briggs asks about snowfall with no chill in the air. Click last coin on the beggar. The snow happened after the Taker claimed his first victim. The 4 dark generals summoned the Taker. It is slave to the callers and does their bidding. The mayor, jailer and council are not doing much about the dark being.

Mayor's statue: Look close at the mayor's statue atop a black horse. His hand is raised to show a light - Hand of Justice.

Inn of Sin: Climb the steps at the background and enter the Inn of Sin.

Bartender: Talk to the bartender.

Deputy Mayor: Go to further inside the inn. Go to bottom screen and then left at end of the room.

Talk to the drunken man. He is worried that the mayor is not like himself. He knows all the mayor's foibles but not lately.

Briggs is approached by the young girl, bartender and the blacksmith. Briggs is accused of being the soul taker and is taken to jail.

Darkmere prison: The jailer leaves. Take the tin cup from the bed.

Nilmates:    Look close at the crack on the wall below the window. Talk to Nilmates.

Quagmire was here is written on the left of the crack. The same sign found on the coin is on the wall right of the crack.

Nilmates says that the empty vessels make lots of noise.

Jailer:    After finally and about time stop talking to Nilmates, use the tin cup on the cell door - jail door bars.

The jailer brings Briggs' last meal. Look close at the meal-metal pot in inventory and see what it contained.

Arach:    Use the meal on the cell window and see Arach. Talk to him and he promises to help if given the last meal (his version of food). He will be finding help in other places. He will also send helpfulness. It is a gift. Time passes.

Jailer:     The jailer says that there's an order for release signed by mayor. Briggs has friends in high places; Onegus is the Mayor's advisor. Briggs is more a returner of Soul than taker.

Town Hall: The jailer brings Briggs to the Mayor's office at the Town Hall.

Mayor: The mayor adjusts his eyes back in position. Talk to Mayor. Onegus backs Briggs up. Briggs is now the Detective of Darkmere. He is given a badge, map, notepad and pen.

The jailer arrives and says that the Deputy Mayor was found behind the jail and his soul taken. This is Briggs' first case.
