   The Other Line
      ver.0.07

 Thank you for downloading The Other Line.
 This is a game inspired by Kikiyama's freeware game "Yume Nikki".
 
 To start the game, double click the RPG_RT file in the game's folder.

   **NOTE!**
 Because this game is still in development, not everything
 is implemented or complete yet. Some things/locations may be 
 removed or remodeled in future updates.
 There is also NO ENDING, as that will be featured in a later
 update. 

====================== Controls =======================
  Arrow keys .................Move character/cursor
  Z/ENTER ....................Confirm/Interact with objects and characters
  X/ESC ......................Cancel/Open Menu
  Shift.......................Effect actions and use

==================== How To Play ======================
-Pick up the phone in the main room to communicate with the other line.
-Explore. Along the way, you'll view events and collect effects.
-When an effect is equipped (from the menu), your appearance will change 
 and you may gain a new ability. Selecting that effect again from the menu
 or selecting another effect will unequip that effect. Some effects only
 change appearance and serve no purpose. Effects are used with the Shift key.
-Events are cutscene-like sequences that explain story elements. 
-Effects collected and events viewed are tallied on the menu.
-To return to your apartment, open the menu and select "Hang up".

==================== Saving==============================
-The apartment has a back room. In this back room is a bed, a TV, a desk and
 a wall with markings on it. Examine the wall to save.
-Save files from previous versions SHOULD NOT be used, as they may cause
 strange and unpredictable bugs. 

==================== Bugs ==========================

 to contact me. [See 'Contact info' at the bottom]
