Day of the Tentacle

SOLVE

NOTES

  1. Because of long cut-sequences, instructions may not make sense until you perform them.
  2. Changing to Characters is represented by CAPITAL LETTERS.
  3. You may need to do exploring to find rooms, although some directions are given.
  4. Some parts can be done in a different order, it won't matter. Because of this, if you have already gone part of the way through the game, just ignore bits you have already done.
  5. You can't do anything in the game that will prevent you from winning, so don't be afraid to experiment.
  6. I assume that you know how to use all the controls in the game.
  7. Print this file out to follow it through with the game.
