I've launched a campaign (twice actually and the first time I couldn't get that key) and I find the interface/introduction perfectly awful. It's quite a peculiar game.

Anyone with tips or starters to quickly have fun with this. :P

Check the readme file for key-mappings.
It should be found in the install directory of the game.
If for some reason you cannot find the readme, or it is not included in the install, you can find the readme and the german manual on my dropbox.

Very ignorant that this game comes with 0 instructions. Why isn't their a manual to read? or a Tutorial to at least show how to interact with NPC's.

@sePL80
Thank you a lot for the manual! I never played this game before and was at a complete loss xD

I had to invite you to friends based solely on the fact that your name is Zoiberg!!!! Bobcat Zoidberg!!
