oscar...Yes, the graphics were very well done in the opening sequence.  Even in the game they are pretty good.  The cursor is weird though.  A sphere in which you must look closely to see if it changes to a arrow, magnifing glass, tongs (to pick things up and I found hard to see at first) bullhorn to talk to people and a spinning sphere which means you can perform a action there.

In the options menu you can locate the subtitle button which is off and once you turn it on, you can read what they are saying while listening to it too.  I found I need to see and hear what is being said to better understand.  If just hearing it even with headphones I don't always catch the whole thing.

I got as far as talking to Prince's favorite concubine and learned she wanted some sweetcakes.

It seems strange in a palace full of fountains that there is only one place to get water.  The cursor is a little fiddly here so I'll just tell you.  In the room with the pool there are two women by a couch.  Before the couch you can get next to the pool.  It is here you can get water.

I'm not going to be able to start on this now as my dad was sent out to hospital yesterday and waiting to find out where they are going to place him (some aggressive issues, ugh!), mom's doing poorly and I lost my folks' dog (ran off) on Tuesday (my dad's 90th birthday).  Just a mess and heartbroken about Bubbie so wouldn't be able to concentrate at all.  Will try later on.

Oscar...If you get stuck Gameboomers has excellent walkthroughs.  I always try to use the one written by MaGtRo.  Will be gone for the next 2-3 days.
