You are a tourist visiting Capri for the first time, with a ticket for the boat, a credit
cart, some local money, an empty travel notebook, and a reservation for the Hotel
Screen Area/Resolution
Quisisana. You board your boat for Capri, your eyes scanning the horizon. In the
distance you see the cliffs of the island looming ever closer. Finally, you dock and
exit the boat with the rest of the tourists. A taxi drives you close to the famous
Piazzetta. You pay the driver and start walking down the crowded, noisy streets.
You stop at a magazine stand asking for directions to the hotel. Here, you also pick
up a map of the island. With the map, you leave and follow the directions you are
given, finally coming to the steps of the hotel. Suddenly, something strange happenis. You are still near the door of the Hotel Quisisana, but all other tourists have
disappeared! Looks like somebody or something is plotting against you. Your vaca¬
tion now seems ruined, but, luckily, you have the notebook with you...

The Sightseeing/Cultural Tour
You navigate the large pedestrian area of the island of Capri as though you are
really there for a weekend. While you walk, the voice of an invisible tour guide
talks about the history and the beauties of the island. Along the way you meet up
with many characters who tell you additional facts. The pictures, as well as the
characters and the sounds, are original of the island. The taxi driver and thenewsagent you encounter, the birds and the bells you hear, the cicadas singing at
the beginning of the descent to the Faraglioni, the paths you walk through, and the
landscapes you see are the same as if you were really visiting Capri.

The shots include astounding sightseeing views,

uments, villas, paintings and old Roman ruins. They appear as you walk through
the island, while the music of an original soundtrack plays along.

You may want to take the tour before playing the game to familiarize with the
island of Capri, or you may decide to take the tour at the end of the game, when
you finally will enter the Hotel Quisis;ana to start your vacation. Note that all information to solve the game are contained in the game
ne itself. You do not need to take
the tour to solve the game.

jumps become generally available, except when the player is in situa¬
tions where a jump is not appropriate. Use the jumps with caution. Some
objects are visible walking in one direction only. Useful information
may be found only while walking. In the tour, the 7 jumping locations
are always available.
jij Save. A Quiet Weekend in Capri is a highly non-linear game with infi-
Mj nite different ways to converge toward the solution. The game has six
iH (6) save slots. Click on Save, confirm and click on one out of 6 save
slots to save the game. The last slot used to save game appears slightly
larger. You cannot have more than 6 saved games siimultaneously.
Despite its non-linearity, the game is designed such that the player, what¬
ever she or he does, continuously progresses toward the solution.
Therefore 6 memory slots are largely sufficient. There are only three key
points where it is recommended to save the game:
the only possible dead end of the game.
Before using the Time Machine. Failing to solve this puzzle may lead to an
"almost" dead end. It would be very time consuming to come back again to the
same point.
Note: The Tour has only one save slot, because there are no critical points. Enjoy
the walk without having to solve any puzzle or mystery.
