The Abyss: Incident at Europa Hints

General Playing Tips

  • READ THE USER'S MANUAL!  Become very familiar with the keyboard controls.

    Draw maps and take notes when you see, hear or read clues given to you by the game screen, your spouse or other characters you meet.  Explore each room thoroughly from every available angle.

    Using items can become troublesome at times.  If you have problems, for instance, inserting a key into a lock, adjust your angle of approach up or down and from side to side, and try again.  The same is true for picking up items.  You may find it necessary to literally ram into the item by taking a running stride toward it.

    Because it is very easy to get turned around and completely lost, SAVE OFTEN!  Once you leave one of the major locations you cannot return to it.  It is important that you save a game before you leave Deepcore and the NTI Ark, just in case you forget something.

    Only five games can be loaded at one time in the Save directory.  To save more than five, copy them from the Save directory into another one.
