Notes

  1. Adventure Game Studio engine build: 3.3.0.1150[1][2]
  2. When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  3. 3.0 3.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/631570/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (631570) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
