So i found this on a twitter thread, it looks intresting i got it to run. Now i have one problem i dont want to go in completely blind and there is a very limited amount of info on this game online. Only a sheet about spells basicly now basic info to what every stat does.

I watched a Polish LP of this (a year ago IIRC) where the guy explains a bit of mechanics, but I believe language is a problem...

I've found RPG chick LP where in the beginning she is giving some advice during char creation. But she is a woman and you are a codexer so it may also be a problem...

This game is not that complicated

What the stats do I've no idea right now, you need the manual anyway, and don't worry the game is not particularly hard, but :
- what the character you meet in the first town want you to say is the answer to something which is the manual (I think it's the name of the main actor playing in a movie which is given in the manual)
- there are a few stat checks in the game, just create at least one character with each stat high, just to be sure
- keep a savegame in the beginning of each dungeon, you can get stuck because there's somewhat of a bug in what's ironically also the best sequence of the game, I'd go as far as to say you will probably get stuck so do it really.
