Fortunately, you are not left to fend for yourself. Arthur, a small robotic companion, is with you at all times to offer hints and suggestions. In exchange for this vital information, you must withstand his wisecracks and smart-aleck remarks, which become more of an annoyance than comic relief. The interface is well thought out and easy to use. All actions are initiated by the mouse.
Different icons appear when actions can be taken.
For example, a caption bubble will appear when you can talk with a character or a double arrow will appear when you can walk in that direction. Full 360-degree navigation allows complete freedom to move and inspect your surroundings. However, it can be a little clunky. Oftentimes, I found myself going around in circles trying to find the exact point at which I could move forward. Magic, enchantment and charm.
