INSTALLING THE GAME
Extract all files in the release archive to your system.
Double click on the "Install" icon present in the extraction
directory and follow the instructions given by the Installer
program.
The game will be installed to a directory you select on your
hard drive. You will be alerted if installation fails for any
reason, please contact the author if this happens.
It is recommended to install Bloodwych and Bloodwych Extended Levels
into the same directory so that save games may be transferred between
the two games.
PLAYING THE GAME
Open the game drawer created during installation and click on the
icon to start the game. During installation you will be given the
option to also install your saved game positions to hard drive.
Saved game positions are loaded and saved using the hard disk. Ten
positions are supported, numbered 0-9. For unregistered WHDLoad
users there will be a delay after loading or saving a game.
The following keys may be used while the game is running:
F8 = quit game and return to Workbench
