Installation
---------------------------------
Murder in the Hotel Lisbon is an adventure game for Windows, Mac and Linux. It should run fine all the way back to Windows XP.
To install the game, just move your mouse around until you see an arrow moving on the screen. That is our cursor. Use that cursor to point at the file called caseandbot.exe and click it twice to activate. Chose a folder or let it install somewhere by default. 


Story
---------------------------------
A strange murder has occurred in the Hotel Lisbon, a man committed suicide with 14 stabs to the back while at the same time he peacefully drank his coffee. This case with contradictory facts was too complex for Policeman Garcia to solve, so he decided to hire the only detective duo in town capable of solving it: the mythical Detective Case and the unmistakable Clown Bot. 
Together, they will solve a network of love relations so complex and so intricate, that it would take at least 14 clairvoyants, 5 apocalyptic sect prophets who can predict the end of the world and 3 of those gypsies that can read the palm of your hand just to guess the final outcome. 


Gameplay
---------------------------------
Murder in the Hotel Lisbon is a videogame inspired by the classic point and click adventures from the 80's and 90's. It works through a simple interface of pointing and clicking. Everything that is essential for game progression can be clicked like characters, objects or doors. All the items collected are kept to be used later and are accessible at any time. 

You can save up to 3 different games and the game can be saved (almost) at any time. If by any chance you came across a pirated version of the game, the saves will also work with the real version on sale on our website. This way you can stop playing our game while we starve and continue later with a version that let's us buy some food.

Technical Support:
====================
Murder in the Hotel Lisbon is a game for Windows, Mac and Linux.
It should run fine in older computers but if by any chance you run into any problems send us an email and we will be happy to see if we can do something about it.

Known current problems:
- Game Maker Studio has some issues with on-board chipsets by intel like those used on some laptops. Until Yoyo Games fixes this we can't do a thing about it.
- The latest update to Windows 8 (Windows 8.1) causes some constant visual glitches. We are working on a fix but don't know when we will have it ready.
