Unlike some other games in the genre, this series features an interesting mechanic that may remind you of computer games, where you interact with the space and objects surrounding the hero.

The interaction mechanic itself is simple: you choose an action card and apply it to the back side of a circumstance card, and then turn it over to see the visible information.

How to play?
Read the first card aloud and apply the effects indicated on the card, then start the game.

Use available action cards to interact with circumstance cards, progressing the story. Choose an action card and a circumstance card, then take both of these cards. Apply the action card to the back of the circumstance card and flip them over, making sure the cards do not shift relative to each other.
- If it is a window card, read the text in the window (if there is one) and apply effects as described on the card.
- If it is a cutout card, take from the deck the card number you see. If you see a symbol instead of numbers, apply its effects. If you see neither a number nor a symbol, nothing happens.

Sometimes you will have the opportunity to decode a secret code (for example, by solving a riddle). You can take a card with the obtained number from the deck only if a magnifying glass is drawn next to the number. If the card you think you should take does not have a magnifying glass image, then it is not the right card - you guessed the number wrong.

Your adventure will come to an end when you draw one of the ending cards. This scenario has several endings that depend on the decisions you made!
