Useful tips
Press LMB+RMB for free look. (its easier than this numpad 3 or numpad 9 stuff)

F9 for quicksave, F10 for quickload. Beware! The game will ask you for saving, but not for loading. So make sure, you hit the right button.

1-6 is for fast weapon switches. 1 are always your fists but you can sort the others. Just go in your inventory and make sure, your weapons are in the top line(and in the right order you want them)

Don`t tab out, while playing. The game resolution is very old( hey, it`s 1996) and the game change in (a little) window mode and don`t change back to fullscreen.
If you tab out and get window mode press Alt + Enter to go back in fullscreen mode


If you find florentines staff, don`t use it. It`s a powerful weapon, but you can not recharge/reload it.
German language patch
i`m not that good in english(look at this guide!). So I found a german patch(1.1 GB) for the game(audio and text).
Just go to this page: https://www.compiware-forum.de/downloads/index.php/Entry/202-Realms-of-the-Haunting-German-Patch/ and registrate(didn`t find one without registration) and download it. Then install it in the folder of your game(probably in your Steam folder)
Suggestions?
If you have suggestions or feedback, post it below. Perhaps you have a patch for your language and want to share it with us? :-)

Hope, I was helpful.

Enjoy the game!

Cant say, it was to long ago. Either capslock or shift :)

Has sprint been changed or is it still Capslock? Because it doesn't appear to do anything for me when I toggle it on.

Glad, that it helped you :)
General_Saubaer 23 May, 2021 @ 2:40am 
Great and useful summary - Thank you :-)

Its been a while. Wasnt it "I" or "Tab"? Perhaps Space?

how to do inventory?

You are welcome. To be precise, Alt + Enter will change Window mode to Fullscreen mode and back in any moment in this game and all Dosbox-game.
