TO YOU, DEAR GAMER
------------------

Thankyou for downloading or borrowing from your friend a copy of 'Cirque de Zale'. This game was created using Adventure Game Studio 2.6 (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk). Follow the adventures of Alexander Zale as he faces various trials in a new dimension!

GETTING STARTED
---------------
- All you should need to do is open cirque.exe. You may need to use winsetup.exe if you have any problems.

- Make sure music.vox is included in the same directory as the game, otherwise you won't hear the amazing musical score.

TROUBLESHOOTING 
---------------
- If you have any problems, please don't email me. Perhaps check out the AGS forums. This game is so, so old now.

- If any real problems occur, try pressing Alt + X to end the game abruptly. You will lose any unsaved changes in doing so.

PLAYING THE GAME
----------------
- This game is a standard 'point and click' style adventure game. Use the menu at the bottom of the screen to control Alexander's actions.

- To SAVE, RESTORE or QUIT, press F5.

- To skip certain cutscenes, press ESC.

- Pressing any key or mouse button will skip text.

FRENCH TRANSLATION
------------------
To play the game in French, just open winsetup.exe and select the French translation before playing.

Big, big thanks to the wonderful Shai-la of A La Grande Tasse Bleue (http://tasse-bleue.fr) for translating the entire game!
