Thanks for playing and reviewing! I appreciate you taking the time. The game certainly doesn’t hand anything to you 
But if you ever played the Swordquest series on the Atari 2600 (the inspiration for Sacrifice), then Sacrifice reads like a 20 foot tall billboard.
Here are some hints. Ignore the eyeballs, all they do is hassle you and make the room dark. They won’t damage you.
The thief in the maze will only eject you from the maze, but the thief in the overworld will take you to his den and try to rob you.
Start with the Four Sisters challenge (in the top left corner of overworld - the house standing on it’s own). Get the candle and go from there?
