Solution
Note that it appears that some of the problems in this game can be solved only through
trial-and-error, where error leads to instant death. The normal method to solve such problems is to
save and reload game states, for the sake of brevity this walkthrough gives the solution to these
puzzles whilst avoiding saving/reloading game states. Therefore it may not always be obvious why
certain actions, or order of actions, are taken.
This game also contains occasions of possible random death. Before entering any such area this
walkthrough will advise you to save the game, either saving a game state via the game's save
routine or via an emulators snapshot will do. In the case of death just reload the save state and
continue from where this walkthrough suggested that you save the game.
