Key points
- Some game elements, like physics and HUD animations, are affected by the frame rate. Having a higher FPS than 30 will, for example, cause a simple landing to cost the player most of their health or even result in death.
- Only in the Windows version you can change the directory of the installation. DOS version is fixed to
C:\CRYO\DREAMS

- If using DOSBox with Glide suppport, you may have to use game's OVL file to run it depending on the wrapper. It can be found by unpacking
GRTVGR.exefile, located in game's CD, using PkUnzip. To simplify the process, runpkunzip d:\3dfx\grtvgr.exe glide\drivers\voodoo\dos\glide2x.ovlin Command Prompt or in DOSBox.
