TOUR SCREEN
One of the first things you will want to do when you start the tour is visit the Options Screen. This can be accessed by using the lever and button at the top right of the interface (see Interface Instructions for more details). Once on the options screen you should select the video option which is best for your system (default is 56k).

If you have a modem which is slower than 56k you should turn video OFF. If you have Cable or high-speed access then select the HIGH SPEED button. You can also select the music you would like to listen to while playing the game. These options can be changed at any time.

USE BUTTON
The Use Button has two functions in the game:

a) Speak with character
At any location with a single character to speak with, the use button allows you to ask that character about any item in your inventory.

b) Interact with environment
In any location without a character to speak to, the use button allows you to EQUIP or PREPARE an item for use in that location (e.g. you come across a locked door - USING the key in your inventory will allow you to open the door).

BLUE AND GREEN OUTLINES
As you travel around town, you’ll see things with either a blue or green outline. Anything with a blue outline can be picked up and added to your inventory (simply click on the item). Anything with a green outline is interactive and will have its own unique effect when clicked.

CLOSE VIDEO
If you are exploring New Bedford with video on and you wish to stop a video from playing, simply click on the red Close Video button under the Video Monitor. In places like the movie theatre, simply leaving the screen will stop the download.
