If you never played any pc game before (shame on you), you should know the basic controls of moving your character.

So we have our little thief Sarah right here, she is in the cave entrance.




YOU CAN CHANGE THE KEYBOARD LAYOUT IN THE MAIN MENU AND THE PAUSE MENU


Use W - A - S - D to move Sarah
They are just like your arrow keys, only BETTER!




Use Z - Q - S - D to move Sarah




Ok yes, you can still use the arrow keys. But this will be more difficult when you are in panic situations!




... and that's it! Now you can stretch your legs! Come on, there are critters to kill and loot to get!

... but you can kill them!



The cursor
You can move your cursor with the mouse. With this cursor you can decide in wich angle to attack.




You can always change the cursor type and color in the main menu!





Attacking
To attack in the angle you were aiming, press your left mouse button.

We hope you now know how to attack, and that you didn't die in the process while reading this.

Exciting, isn't it?




To open the hatch, you simply have to hit the upper section of it.
The manufacturer of these hatches made a small button to open them right there!

To get to the next floor, simple step into the void that the trapdoor covered.
BEMAMI IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR BROKEN LEGS

... and they might contain beetroot...



You can open chest by hitting them, or simply walking against the front of it
seriously, guys, the front... not the back. Stop trying to open it from the backside, please

Contents
Chests can contain items wich improves your journey, but mostly they contain gold that you can spend in the shop.



Gold chests
These are special chests, and aren't as common as the normal brown ones.
They always contain items.

Unspeakable forces created these chests (hey are called the Reigns of Northern Galleath (RNG)).



These chest sometimes have spikes around them, watch out for them!

... the sword is pretty overpowered

Chests sometimes contain items, these will help you further with your journey.
These items have a high variation.
From supernatural energy-swords to hypertechnological laser guns and a pair of shoes!

You can only have one item per slot at a time!

... but, we have 2 item slots?
There are 2 item slots, one for Active items and one for Passive items.



Left is active, right is passive

Passive items
These items help you passively, you pick them up and they give you something special. One item increases your gold drops, another one gives more damage output!

Active items
These items can be activated by the spacebar. They can be health-ups, shields, a damage increase for the room and more!

These items have cooldowns, but they don't take that long. Some items are single-use only!

...what is he doing here?

The shopkeeper appears sometimes, you can buy items from his shop if you have the sufficient funds for it. His items cost 100 gold each. You can buy only one item every time, so think good what you need and desire the most!



Buying items
If you stand in front of him, he gives you a selection of 4 items.
You can cycle the items you want to buy with the scrollwheel on your mouse.
The selected item is highlighted with a red number.

Click the left mouse button (you will hit him, poor guy) to buy the chosen item.
You'll see you've lost some money (if you had the money for it at least).

If you already had an item from the same type, it will appear in a chest next to him to pick up later

You can mute/unmute the music by pressing M

This is a tricky one, because you will have to go into the game files.
Go to your Local folder



Search for the Arch Drift folder in here.
In this folder you'll find options.sav

Open this in notepad/notepad++
Change tutorial = 1.0000000 to tutorial = 0
Save it, and you're good to go!
You can always change some options in here, but we won't recommend it.
To reset the game's options, simply delete options.sav
