Rance 3:Game mechanics

Beginning
After the start up intro (which can be skipped by hitting any key), there is a menu:

"New game" and "Load" are self-explanatory. The "Alice's Cottage" contains "Staff's corner", "Development diary", "Game hints", and "Staff credits" (the last option returns to the main menu).

Common options include:


 * 見る - look (around, or at a specific object)
 * 考える - think (about current situation
 * 話す - talk
 * 使う - use
 * 襲う - H
 * 休む - Rest
 * 出る - Leave/exit


 * 移動 - move
 * 旅立ち - travel
 * キャンプ - camp

Battle
At the beginning of the battle, you have three choices:
 * Begin battle (manual)

 * Move
 * Attack
 * Normal attack
 * Rance attack
 * light attack
 * H (only on gal monsters)
