Road to India Hints
The screen is black and my cursor won't move!
1 of 4: The cursor IS moving when you move your mouse. It's just so dark you can't tell it.
2 of 4: Move your mouse all around slowly. You should be able to make out some slight shading variations on the black screen. When you see a lighter area, concentrate on that general area until you get a "hand" cursor.
3 of 4: You are looking for some matches in the darkness. Check your inventory after clicking with the "hand" cursor. After you've found them, click the single match on the matchbox to light it. If it goes out, light another.
4 of 4: Note: If you looked in the end bedroom during your first visit to Shareef's house, you may have found the matches on the bureau near the bed.
