== Installation ==

=== Required data files ===
For more information on how ScummVM uses game data files, see the [https://docs.scummvm.org/en/latest/use_scummvm/game_files.html user documentation].

'''''English CD'''''

The English release comes on two CDs, both of which need to be extracted to the same location. Specifically, the files required are:

* CDSound folder (CD 1 & 2)
* CDVideo folder (CD 1 & 2)
* HDVideo folder (CD 1)
* ciftree.dat (CD 1, located inside the Game folder)
'''''Russian CD'''''

The Russian translation comes on a single CD, the data on which is compressed inside InstallShield cabinet files. The required files are:

*data1.hdr
*data1.cab
*data2.cab
*data3.cab

Alternatively, the cabinet files can be extracted with a third-party utility like unshield, or by installing the game on a Windows machine. The files required from the extracted cabinets are the same as the English release.

== Controls ==
The game is controlled with the mouse, with optional keyboard movement using the arrow keys. Clicking with the right mouse button or holding Ctrl/Cmd allows for faster movement.
