I got a copy of this with either Zapp64 or Commodore Format, so didn't have a full set of instructions. I liked that you were trying to solve mysteries as some of them were happening. It seemed quite advanced for the Commodore 64 I was playing it on at the time. I suspect it hasn't aged as well as my memories of it but the nostalgia hit will be immense.
