~ HOW TO PLAY ~
FORLENZASTEIN is played in first person from the keyboard, with an optional mouse for firing. Here is the full control scheme:
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| W · S | Move forward / backward |
| A · D | Strafe left / right (sidestep) |
| ← · → | Turn left / right |
| SPACE | Use / open the door you are facing |
| CTRL or CLICK | Fire a magic missile (costs mana) |
| M | Mute / un-mute the sound |
| ENTER | Start the game / turn the instruction pages |
| ESC | Quit the game |
Search the dungeon for the hidden golden KEY, then make your way to the EXIT to finish the level. The bottom of the screen reads FIND THE KEY until you grab it. Walk up to a door and press SPACE to slide it open — doors swing shut again after a few seconds, so step back in to reopen them.
Enemies hunt you through the corridors, so stay sharp. Press CTRL (or click the mouse) to fire a magic missile — but each shot costs mana, so make them count. Cut the monsters down and they'll drop pickups to keep you in the fight.
Medpacks restore your health and mana crystals refill your magic. Keep an eye on the red HP and blue MP bars on your HUD and grab what you need — running dry on either one in the middle of a fight is a quick way to end up on the YOU DIED screen.
