Karma: Curse of the 12 Caves Hints

General Information

  • It's a good idea to watch the introductory video and listen carefully.  In addition, two other sources of information are invaluable for assisting you in solving "Karma: Curse of the 12 Caves":

    1) The manual that accompanies the CD-ROM
    2) The online Help

    The first gives some good information about starting and ending the game.  The second is available through the menu system built into "Karma" at all times.  While solving a puzzle, you can access Help by clicking on the bamboo scroll in the lower right corner.  (As in many games, some of the Help is more useful than others!)

    Be patient.  Explore.  There is no "story line" to follow; you are merely asked to solve the various puzzles within the caves.  With the exception of the first two puzzles, puzzle solving is fairly non-linear.
