I should warn you that you will see some nudity in this game although they do cover her breasts with her hair during that scene. o---------------------o DISCLAIMER o---------------------o Alpha and its characters are trademarks of Square n' all their copyrights belong to them.

Prior to your awakening, mankind had set up a spacestation to go from the Planet Earth to the Planet Alpha knowing that they themselves wouldn't live to the ship's arrival but their descendants would be the ones to thrive on the new planet. Sevel generations have passed with still no sign of any landing. By this time, the main computer had taken over and starting running the show. As you awaken, you notice there is an uprising down below. After a visit to the space shopping station, you steal an oxygen mask and get busted by the Robot Police. You are chained up with no clothes on until you are set free by the police. When you venture to the start of the game, go back a little further and you end up getting grabbed by a bunch of thugs and come face to face with the head thug Arnold. After a few sessions of talking. The robot police kills the gang and arrest you again. Once again you get freed and go back to the scene where you were getting mugged to find a lone thug dying. Speak to him and he says their leader, Keith, had been captured. As you dig through the garbage, you find a laser. Head back to the shopping center and steal the oxygen mask again this time to get arrested on purpose. After the normal routine, once you put your clothes back on, take out the laser and shoot the guard. You meet up with Keith whose goal is to destroy the main computer and take control of the ship. After you blast the cage door to free him, the two of you get confronted by the Robot Police again. Shoot it and the next scene shows a mortally wounded Keith who turns out to be an android. He gives you a key before he dies then you get arrested once again for the last time in the game (provided you don't screw up). After being freed for the final time, go back to the scene of the dead man and check the garbage three times. First for another laser and a couple more times for the dynamite. Head back to the shopping center and steal the energy pack first then use it then steal the timer. You are about to be arrested again but you escape this time. After heading for the Main Computer Room, you have to kill three robots first. Once there, arm the timer and throw the dynamite to blow it up and head out. Now head to the other station and this time you are heading for the main cockpit. Once again you kill three robots along the way and come across a locked door. But you'll need a password to get in there. Head for the Radar Room and you will see that the space station had been orbiting around Alpha for several years the whole time. You also find out that you yourself are an android and you and Keith were created to awaken should there be a problem with the ship landing and fix it. The password you obtain for the cockpit is Ikarosu (Icarus). Head to the Cockpit door and use the key and go inside. Look at the screen then look at the panel. You will see a button. Push it and the spaceship will descend into Alpha's atmosphere and land. Everyone living on this ship has finally made it to planet Alpha. THE END. o---------------------o CONTROLS o---------------------o This game is all about typing so that means you use the keyboard and although the game is played in Katakana, you can type letters to convert them to just that automatically. Some things to note that all commands with a # indicate that this is optional and cause special easter eggs to appear. Be sure to press Enter to make them go away (the lone exception is the arrest mode scene where it jumps to jail scene). There are also some shortcut commands to note F1 = Repeat first word of previous command. F2 = Repeat second word of previous command F3 = Repeat entire command F4 = Hide graphic F5 = Inventory 2 = Ushiro (down/back) 4 = Hidari (left) 6 = Migi (right) 8 = Mue (up/forward) o---------------------o GAMEPLAY o---------------------o For a small Japanese lesson the stuff in parenthesis is just a translation of the command. Brackets are the keys to press to make things quicker. The curly brackets are just side commentary. Remember that the pound sign will do nothing but make easter eggs appear. ===== Press Enter/Return to trigger an explosion Miru Kumo (Look at Cloud)# Mue [8] Miru Mune (Look at Chest)# Migi [6] Miru Uindou (Look at Window)# Mue [8] Furikaeru (Flicker) # Miru Tana (Look at Items) -Items consists of Enerugipakku (Energy Pack), Taima- (Timer), Sansomasuku (Oxygen Mask).
