SHADOWS IN THE NIGHT
Written by Dorothy Millard
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (C64 Version)
Scenario
Discover hidden passages and other secrets in a haunted mansion - or is it?
Notes
1. You need a lit torch and a map before entering the secret passages. Without the map there is no
exit.
2. Keep an eye on the location descriptions as they change according to circumstances throughout the
game.
3. Sometimes more than just verb/noun input is required, ie. CLIMB THROUGH WINDOW, FEEL UNDER DESK,
LOOK IN MIRROR, GET RUSTY KEY, etc.
4. Shadows in the Night recognises the full word, therefore it isn't possible to use
abbreviations (ie. first four or three letters), except for the standard directions etc.
5. There are a number of sound effects throughout the game, so turn up the volume.
6. You will not be able to exit the mansion until you have found and photographed all five items of
evidence.
7. you cannot exit through the front door, you must find another way.
