There is a location number mechanic in the cheat section. Can I recommend that you provide everyone a list of the locations to get items and spells as to avoid game overs? Your game is difficult to finish because you don't know what you are doing when playing.
I want to like this game, but it feels a bit broken by the lack of a properly detailed guide or a list of cheats.
I'm trying to provide constructive criticism here.
Because of not knowing what to do, it makes it easy for people to get game overs and having to start over.
Please provide us a list of cheats.
There is a list of places included in the documentation in the
Development
folder in the game, in places.html. Similarly flags for people are noted in people.html
These are difficult to really use without checking code at times as there is an interdependence on flags in the game. This is why I have provided links like the "About go to work" link discussed. There are a number provided for people and you can see by looking in the View People list. Mother Superior for instance has a number
Game Overs are best handled really using your save games. So save or quick save periodically, before doing something like robbing a museum or confronting a sleazy teacher etc. Otherwise use the autosave at the start of every in-game day if you get a game over.
Otherwise turn on the game option to undo actions, this allows you to re-do many actions that would lead to a game-over.
There is no real list of cheats or locations for items or spells. Items and spells are available often based on previous events that make these available (actually put them in the location or set flags to expose)
The cheats otherwise are in the cheat menu but few people need anything more than maybe using the money/mana cheats
The cheat menu also allows you to add items (including spells) to your inventory, but for some key items and spells this can break some game progression.
