Still Life Hints
Movement and cursor interaction
Movement within "Still Life" is accomplished through a simple point-and-click interface. Since the game is primarily played in the third person, you can direct your character (either Victoria or Gus) to move to another location simply by clicking at that point on the screen. When the mouse cursor nears the left or right sides of the screen, or rests over an open doorway or stairway, etc., a cursor icon will indicate that clicking at that point will cause the scene to change to the new location.
Double-clicking to move a character will often result in the character running to the designated spot. There are some places where running is inappropriate, and double-clicking will perform the same function as a single click.
