Wonderland

A pretty advanced text/gfx adventure game, but extremely difficult to get through as you can easily fail and get stuck forever, and you can die from so many things, so saving often is advised.

You can type what you want to do, or right click on the different items in the windows or on the picture instead. There's also helpful commands in the menus.

There's 4 versions you can choose between: "low res, 16 colors", "medium res, 4 colors", "high res (interlaced), 16 colors" and "high res, monochrome, no graphics". They can all be installed too. I chose to install the high res, 16 color version ofc (low res is more common I think, but barely anything fits on the screen then). Installing it makes things load way faster - not just because it runs from HD, but it decompresses all images and stuff so it loads even faster. Takes about 5mb decompressed.

A copy-protection message appears early on, because I played a non-cracked/modified version (.ipf/SPS). Funny it was 1,1,1,1 (the odds of that happening). During testing and stuff before recording I had other combinations.

I found only one walkthrough (it was text-based) for this game, but still took 8 hours to get through as it wasn't very detailed in what to do. It was written like it was performed by the main character or something, like "I went to the and then combined these two items to use on this object" (these will be made-up examples just to illustrate the idea), and I was like "Ok, where is this place? Now I have to search the entire map for it so I can the load a save and go there like I knew where it was". Sometimes I got help like it's northwest of this/that tree. And then I was like "Ok, how do I combine these items exactly? The game doesn't even know the word "combine" is, so I tried assemble, attach, "put and together", sometimes it worked, other times it didn't because it had to be in the right order (like item A can't be combined with B, but B can with A). Sometimes steps were kinda left out about what I needed to do to even be able to do the above thing. So was a lot of running around, pre-planning of what to do, loads of tries with different syntax to get the game to do what I needed to do. After I've longplayed the first 30 mins of the video, 3 hours had already passed.

Anyway, I didn't give up and made it through it. I was constantly "I hope I don't get stuck forever at a step somewhere and have to scrap this longplay, wasting all this time".

Don't know how this dude who wrote the guide/walkthrough managed to figure all the stuff out, as I would never have in a million years, at least not to finish it with maximum points.

So, credits goes to "By COBRA of AERO. Edited by PARASITE". Wish they'd written it as a more direct walkthough, like "n, sw, e, open door, n, w, open drawer, take knife...", instead of "I ventured over to the 's house and went into the kitchen where I saw a small box, which I couldn't pick up yet, but can later. In one of the drawers I found a knife which I took", sometimes not even saying to take the object, just that they found/saw it, but I assume I should take it. There was stuff I probably shouldn't have picked up I guess, ran out of bag space so had to drop stuff, so needed to check the rest of the walkthrough what items are not mentioned again so I know (or hope) what could be safe to drop. I don't mind the explanations here and there, like "the reason you are doing this is because of this and that later on in the game".
