NOTE
----

The glass bottle from the whale's mouth has a note inside it. Rosella can read
the note to find references to other Sierra adventure games.


SPACESHIP
---------

In the AGI version of the game, type "beam me" in the west hall in Lolotte's
castle to transport to a spaceship where staff from Sierra can be seen. You can
also enter debug mode and teleport to room 152 to enter the room. Walk south
through the gap at the bottom of the room to return to the castle.


===============================================================================

8.                            Debug Information

===============================================================================


AGI version: Hold Alt + D to access debug mode. Type "Get object" followed by a
number to collect any item in the game, "Gimme gimme" to collect all items, or
"TP" followed by a number to teleport to a new location. You can set night or
day by typing "create dark" or "create day". "Time" gives the game time.

SCI version: Turn num lock off and hold both shift keys and the minus button.
A window will appear where you can view and change different variables. To
