Welcome to Shadows and Stones. This is a text-based adventure game. It has been written for a special daughter who loves magic and stories, and stories about magic. And who is just a bit magical herself.

As you play, you need to read the text, then select what you then wish to do. Remember to look around yourself. Sometimes it's only when you've investigated something do you realise how it can be useful. Talk to people when you can, you can almost always learn from them.

This game may take some time. If you want to make sure you can start back where you've finished, try to remember the 'return code' in the top right corner, and use the 'Enter Code' option when you next play.

For now, have fun, read carefully, and may you make the right decisions.
