Bog's Adventures in the Underworld
by Richard Evans

Welcome to Bog's Adventures

Poor hen pecked Bog tries his best to please Clod, his wife, but when he tries to improve on her famous 'Mushy Mush' recipe, things don't go according to plan and Bog ends up in Hell, the Underworld. Help Bog to find his way back to Clod and patch up their relationship.

There are two possible main endings and a little extra bit for anyone that manages to achieve the maximum score of 278.

How to play

There are four actions; walk, interact, look at and talk to. Use the right mouse button, or the mouse wheel, to cycle through these actions then move the cursor to where, or what, you want to perform the action on and left click. You can click the middle mouse button to directly perform a walk action.

To access your inventory, move the mouse to the top of the screen. You can select inventory items by left clicking on them, and look at them with a right click. To use the chosen item on things in the world, just left click on them. Some inventory items can be combined with others produce new ones, do this by clicking one item on another in the inventory window. You can scroll the inventory widow with the mouse wheel. To quickly close the inventory, just move the mouse to the far left of the screen.

You can quit, load, save your progress, or delete old save games, by just moving the mouse over the question mark in the top right hand corner of the screen.

Most cut scenes can skipped by pressing ESCAPE.

Help

This is a full length game that will take a good while to beat, don't try and complete it in one sitting. If you get stuck take a look through the inventory and see what hasn't been of use yet, this can often be a guide to what you should be trying to do next. If you get completely stuck, stop playing, and do something else, then come back later with a clear mind. Be vigilant, there are plenty of clues hidden around the game, so don't go racing through it, as you might miss something of importance. Save your progress frequently, it is possible to loose points though most times you can earn them back again.

Technical

Bog's Adventure utilizes a lot of advanced features in AGS and may run slowly on some computers. There is a 'Slow Computer' option in the in game manual, in the inventory, where you can switch off some of the advanced effects. If there are still locations that run slowly or you find any bugs, please send me a message at AGS@alpha72.com.
