The player guides Graham through forests, mountains, caves, buildings, and other locations while searching for three treasures: the Shield of Achille, the Chest of Gold, and the Mirror. Movement changes the illustrated screen, and typed commands such as LOOK, TAKE, USE, and TALK drive interactions.

Objects must be collected and combined with the correct situations. The game includes multiple routes, dangerous creatures, lethal mistakes, score-based progress, and a few alternate solutions. Saving frequently is essential because some actions can permanently block progress or kill Graham.

Explore systematically and record screen exits, suspicious scenery, and useful objects. Examine everything before moving on, and try LOOK, TAKE, OPEN, PUSH, and USE when the environment suggests an interaction.

Save before entering unknown areas, approaching hostile creatures, or attempting a new puzzle. Avoid wasting unique items, revisit earlier locations after major discoveries, and keep track of score changes to confirm that important actions worked.
