How to play, Chapter 15
Controls
In short
You play with the keyboard: every entry on the screen has a letter. You can also click the lines. Alt+Enter toggles full screen, and ? shows help for the current screen.
Keyboard and mouse
Every entry on the screen starts with a bright letter. Press it and off you go. With the mouse you click the line instead, which does the same. On a tablet the keys also appear as buttons below the screen.
Typing values
Some commands need a value, such as an amount for the bank or the name of a hero. Then an input line appears at the bottom of the screen. Type the value and send it with Enter. Esc cancels. For amounts, an empty input usually means "everything".
Help
On every screen, ? shows a short help text for the place you are in and names the matching chapter of this guide. Esc takes you back, or Enter on a bulletin board. On the website the sidebar next to the game also has a link to the matching chapter.
Full screen, sound and scanlines
- Full screen: Alt+Enter or the small button at the bottom of the monitor. Then all you see is the DOS screen. Esc or Alt+Enter ends it.
- Sound: switch it on in the menu on the right. Then it beeps and buzzes for hits, gold, level-ups and messages, like an old PC speaker.
- Scanlines: the fine lines over the screen, which you can switch off in the menu on the right.

PC, tablet and phone
You play DRAKVOR on a PC or a tablet with a keyboard. The screen has 79 characters in 24 lines and needs a bit of room for that. If your window is too small, the page will tell you. You cannot play on a phone, but you can read the whole website, the hall and this guide there.
Leaving the game
Press Q on the village square to leave the village. Your hero stays where they are and sleeps in the fields if they have no room. You can also just close the browser.
