Monsters will pop up at inopportune to to bar your path and try to kill you, so it is imperative that you find some way of defending yourself. The player must search the house for numerous secret passageways and trapdoors, to find the scientist’s beautiful daughter and take her to safety.

A compass at the bottom of the screen shows all available directions, and all commands are committed via VERB NOUN commands. The player has a basic inventory for puzzles, and there is no save or restore feature.
