%[NL:MIDDLE]%[FONTFILE:10x17.font]%[COLOR:255,0,255]*** Haunted Castle Maze ***%[NORMAL]%[FONTFILE:]%[NL:LEFT]
%[NL:LEFT]

Actual it should be a trip to the forest-inn,
but you have lost your way.

Now darkness had come, and you want to stay
the night in an abandoned ruin.

Thereby you come into an underground haunted maze...

%[FONTFILE:10x17.font]%[COLOR:240,0,240]Aim of the game%[NORMAL]%[FONTFILE:]%[NL:LEFT]
%[NL:LEFT]
Find the exit as possible before midnight!
Avoid the ghosts.
From midnight on the minotaur appears,
to run across him is deadly.

Gradually the torches at the walls will burn out,
and it becomes darker until midnight.

Also in the network game (until 4 players)
each player's goal is to find the exit.
They don't play against each other.

If a ghost frightens a player, the player's fear grows.
It reduces itself slowly over time,
but can divided in half by a valerian bottle.
If the player's fear reaches 100%, it is over...

- Move
  going and turning

- Blue light
  switching on the blue light causes a player to see
  hidden wall portals (shown as a black wall).
  However the player cannot see approaching ghosts,
  rather the blue light attracts them (see radar).
  Hidden wall portals can be uni- or bidirectional.
  %[NL:LEFT]%[SPACE:2]%[IMG:maze-blue.bmp]%[NL:LEFT]

- Perform action%[NL:LEFT]
  - Take and eat garlic.
    The player's smell of garlic prevents
    the attack of ghosts.
    It has no effect against the minotaur.    %[IMG:garlic.bmp]%[NL:LEFT]
  - Take and drink a valerian bottle.
    Valerian calms down
    and reduces the player's fear to the half.%[IMG:valerian.bmp]%[NL:LEFT]
  - Take a jewel.
    The player can own just one jewel
    and use it only when showing the map.     %[IMG:../bmp/jewel-klein.bmp]%[NL:LEFT]
  - Knowledge exchange with another player.
    Only in the network game, if exactly two players meet.
    If both agree, they will share the knowledge of the map
    but also their fear.
  - If the map is shown and the player owns a jewel,
    show whole maze including player's way to exit.

- Map
  The Map shows the maze,
  but only places where the player had been.
  Equally the player's known hidden wall portals,
  other characters and items are shown.
  The exit is represented by a green line at the border.
