- This is quite a complex stealth Roguelike.  It's definitely not a coffee break game.  It will take time to understand the mechanics.  You will need to read the log output to understand what's going on.  Here are a few pointers:

- The game is a pure stealth Roguelike.  Stealth is at the very core of its entire design.  It's not something just tacked on.  You can't kill the enemies.  Your best chance is to evade the guards.  There are spells and items to help you do that.  Your Rogue powers allow you to see their detection views and sense their awareness levels.

- Guards will try to thwart you in different ways.  Some will attack at range.  Others may use enchantments.  And some may even foolishly attempt to steal from you.  For they know not what you are.

- You can pick items up by moving over them.  Hovering over the items in your inventory will bring up their names.  Clicking on them reveals actions you can perform.

- You are given two sets (contracts) of objectives at the start of each mission.  You must fulfil one set to succeed.  If you are unable to do so, your guild will eliminate you.

- You may need to find secret rooms to fulfil your mission.  Search dutifully for any means of unveiling them.  Remember, it's our business to uncover secrets.

- The Rogue's Guild intend to secretly betray Rogues according to certain parameters.  Their intentions are not made clear.  It's in their nature.  It's nothing personal.  The more books you read, the more knowledge of their clandestine plans will be revealed to you.  Use this to your advantage and to help you to survive.

- After completing a contract, you must make it to one of the exits to escape.  Rogues are not in the habit of saving anyone, unless they're paid to.

- May the darkness veil you.  May riches fill your purse.  And may your secrets die with you.

TIPS:

- Did you lose, despite completing all objectives and escaping?  Check the revealed secret for clues to why you were eliminated.

- Bleeding and poisoning can be fatal if unattended to.

- The cauldron can be used for brewing potions.

- Items can be crafted at the work bench.

- You can steal from a guard when they're frozen.

- You have to actually read the books to gain their knowledge.
