In the game you control Gilly, a poor Usul who was lost in the woods and accidentally stumbled into the Castle of Eliv Thade seeking shelter. As you enter, the heavy iron door slams shut, and locks behind you. Uh oh.
To escape, you must visit all four rooms, and collect an item from each, and then head to the Crypt to put the spirit of Eliv Thade to rest. Beware, this terrible spirit has been driven insane over the years and will do anything he can to stop you escaping his domain.
You can move 1, 2, or 3 spaces using the mouse, but beware - each time you move Thade will give you an anagram, and the further you try to move the harder the anagram will be! Watch out for the cracked floor also - you don't want to fall into the basement, oh no, that would be bad!
The game has an easy mode and hard mode. In easy mode, to move 1 space you must solve a 4 letter anagram, to move 2 spaces, a 5 letter anagram, and 3 spaces, a 6 letter anagram. To gain entry to the crypt you must solve a 7 letter anagram. In hard mode, to move 1 space you must solve a 5 letter anagram, to move 2 spaces, a 6 letter anagram, and 3 spaces a 7 letter anagram. To gain entry to the crypt you must solve an 8 letter anagram.
