User manual GAMES PC SHIVERS

[. . . ] The toolbar includes a Map button, which allows you to jump to anywhere in Cyclone, and an Internet button which enables you to chat with your friends while you play. Other features include dynamic sound and the ability to adjust the size of your panorama, turn the smart cursor on or off, vary your pan speed and turn the captions on or off. You can even create your own version of some of the puzzles and challenge your friends. If you're having technical troubles, read the README file or call technical support listed toward the back of this book. The README file is also a good place to check for the latest information about the game since this book had to be printed ahead of time. So it's time to dim the lights and head into Cyclone, a little town that promises to turn your head around and send cactus needles down your spine. Note: Though the game is loosely based on Native-American mythologies, it in no way represents actual beliefs and rituals of Native-American peoples. The canyons are beautiful but dangerous.

But beware: you lose life essence during the time you hold the prayer stick. PAGE 16 BATTLING PETROGLYPHS You must be brave. The petroglyphs in the canyon will attack when you approach them. Your only defense is to move quickly but there is one problem. You must find the petroglyph that will awaken the power of your prayer stick (bahos) before you can progress further, but the only place you can do this is in the canyon. You can grab the map if you're not up to it, but you can't avoid the petroglyphs forever.
