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:

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.

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.
