EPILEPSY WARNING

Some people are susceptible to epileptic seizures or loss of consciousness when exposed to certain flashing lights or light patterns in everyday life. Such persons could risk a seizure while watching televised images or playing videogames. This can occur even if there have been no previous medical problems or history of epilepsy. The following symptoms are characteristic of epileptic seizures: blurred vision, eye or face twitches, trembling arms or legs, disorientation, confusion or a temporary loss of bearings. During an epileptic seizure, the loss of consciousness or convulsions can lead to serious accidents in the case of a fall. Stop playing immediately if you recognise any of these symptoms. We strongly recommend that parents watch over their children while they are playing with a videogame, as children and adolescents tend to be more prone to epileptic seizures than adults. If these symptoms appear, STOP PLAYING IMMEDIATELY AND CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR. Parents and tutors should keep an eye on the children and ask them if they are experiencing some or all of the above mentioned symptoms. Children and adolescents are more prone to experience these effects related to the use of videogames than adults.

The opposite picture shows a typical action screen from EVA CASH. Each component is as follows: A. This is the Special Move ENERGY. The currently selected Special Move icon is also displayed here. B. The Player's Health Bar. The colour indicates the state of emergency. Red indicates very low health, amber indicates medium health and green indicates that the player is healthy. C. Currently selected weapon. D. Current ammo. The number represents the amount of cartridges available to the player. The individual bullets illustrate the rounds remaining in that particular cartridge. E. Special move selector. Each icon represents a different special move. F. This is aiming reticule. G. The blue box surrounding one of the powers indicates which particular power is presently selected. This box can be moved to select a new power using the mouse wheel or special move select buttons. H. This is the player 'EVA CASH' and her trusted backpack 'Mr Boo'. Keep an eye on Mr Boo as he provides the player with hints, tips and other information about EVA CASH and her surroundings.

Interacting with objects in the game world


Using the activate key in-game will perform one of the following actions: Open a door. Talk to a non-hostile character that will instruct the user to follow or stay put. Use or inspect a puzzle object. Remember you can also use you special skill such as Telekinesis and Pyrokinesis to interact with objects in the game world too.

Advanced control
The game's control system is designed to offer the player a depth of control if mastered which will make life much easier and amass more skill points quicker. Blind fire: If you duck behind an approximately waist high obstacle and press fire, you can shoot over the top of the obstacle without exposing your body to enemy fire. If there are no static obstacles around then think about positioning physics objects as cover by using your special powers such as telekinesis etc. Dodging: Holding the Dodge Lock Key will enable Eva Cash to do a quick dodge move in the direction of her movement. This allows you to gain distance from enemies and also increases you chance to dodge bullets. Counter Dodge: When you see the Counter Dodge Icon appear on screen this means if you are quick you can activate a dodge move, which will fire at the same time and cause your attack more damage than usual. Class Special: The class special move is designed to help you play the game in your chosen style. The class specials are as follows: Aggression - Grenade - Eva Cash will throw a hand grenade that will cause damage to all enemies within a radius of where it detonates. Stealth - Wall Hug - When parallel to a wall, Eva Cash can push her back to it and peer around corners in order to get a better idea of how to approach a tricky room. Sharp Shooting - Scope Steady - This allows Eva Cash to hold her breath for a short period of time thus removing any unwanted movement when she is using the sniper scope.

Ghost - Ghost is a form of stealth camouflage that renders Eva Cash almost undetectable to enemies. The player can't fire weapons in ghost mode and if Eva Cash gets too close to enemies she will still be spotted. Ghost camouflage can only be maintained for a short period of time. The onscreen Ghost Manikin indicates how long is left on its use and how long until the player can use it again. The skilled professional player will only use ghost mode to move from cover to cover, simply killing when ready. Stealth kill - When in ghost mode you can sneak up behind an enemy and perform a one shot tap to the back of the head, killing the enemy in one swift move. When correctly placed, the Stealth Kill Icon will appear - simply press fire to execute it. Taking Care of Civilians: Defenceless civilians in the game world can be a source of much reward, By saving their lives - they will often reward you with items , hints and even solve problems for you. If you walk close to a Civilian and see a Blue speech bubble above their heads it means you can toggle them on/off following you. You don't want to lead civilians into areas of great danger as they are much more fragile than you. Most of them are frail and walk slowly so remember to keep close by and guard them, If you run to far ahead they may get lost, scared or eaten and you will need to go back for them.

7 SPECIAL MOVES AND POWERS


Selecting a special move
At the bottom of the screen you will see icons that represent all the special powers.

Around one of the icons you will see a square selector reticule. Simply move the middle mouse wheel to change the position of the square reticule in order to select the different powers.

Energy and cool downs


Energy is what Eva Cash uses to power her special moves. The player's current energy level is shown in the top right hand corner of the screen. When the energy bar is coloured RED that means that you don't have enough energy to execute the currently selected special move, GREEN however indicates that you have enough energy to do so. Each special move has its own cool down rate. During this time the special move can't be used no matter how much energy the player has. Cool down is represented by the special move menu icons being faded out to a black colour that recedes as the cool down expires.

Using the Special Powers


Razor Disk: The razor disk is a super sharp flying disk that Eva Cash can control with her mind. Simply press and hold the Special Move button while some enemies are in front of you. A red lock-on reticule will appear above any targets acquired. You can target up to 8 targets at once.When you have acquired all desired targets let go of the Special Move Button and the razor disk will track and dispose of all the marked targets. Be warned: When the disk is in flight the player can't move hence leaving Eva Cash open to attack.

TK Flak: TK Flak allows you to collect small pieces of shrapnel from bullet impacts and empty cartridges and then fire them back off at enemies using your mind. To use this skill hold the Special Powers Button down over a source of shrapnel such as bullet impacts or enemy weapon fire. You will see piece of shrapnel start to collect around Eva Cash's hand. Now release the Special Powers Button and press the Shoot Action Button. The collected shrapnel will fire off towards the target reticule. Telekinesis: Telekinesis allows Eva Cash to pickup objects with the power of her mind. When in T.K mode the reticule will indicate when an object can be picked up using TK. Press the Special Power Button when the reticule changes and it will lift all objects close to the reticule up in the air. Now aim the reticule at a desired target and press the Shoot Action Button. The selected objects will now fly in the direction of the reticule's target. The longer you hold the Shoot Action Button for the harder the objects will be thrown. If you want to throw objects gently to solve a puzzle or climb on them, hold the Special Power Button and Fire button Together to throw them and they will be throw with much less power. Pyrokinesis: Pyrokinesis allows the player to excite tiny molecules within certain objects. This then has the effect of starting a fire by forcing combustion to occur. When this skill is selected, the H.U.D will change to a red hue where all objects that are flammable glow. Simply focus the target reticule over the object you want to set on fire and hold the Special Move Button down until you see it ignite. Super Dodge: Eva Cash uses her energy to focus her power and perform a spectacular evasive / offensive moves. Press Special Power Button to enter the target selector, The use the LEFT and RIGHT movement keys to rotate the red target selector to a desired target location, Then press the FIRE button to Jump there. Spin Accelerator: When surrounded by enemies Eva Cash can spin around at such a high velocity that she actually slows down time causing a temporal effect that seemingly replicates bullets. Press the Special Move Button to activate this. If you tap Special Move Button quickly up to 3 times in a row you can chain 3 spins together This power is great when surrounded by lots of enemies. Magic Bullet: Eva Cash can use her telekinetic abilities to control the path of a single bullet through the air. Hold down the Special Move Button and you will fire a bullet and take control over it. Use the Movement Keys to adjust the direction (pitch and yaw) of the bullet. This special power can be used to guide a bullet around corners and so on in order to hit enemies hiding in cover or indeed to deactivate switches and doors that are otherwise out of the normal reach of the player. Shield: The kinetic shield uses Eva Cash's mental powers to stop all solid objects from penetrating a semi-circular radius around her. Each impact on the shield causes the player to loose energy instead of health. Once Eva Cash's energy is too low the shield's field will collapse. Press the Special Move Button to activate the shield. You can't move or do anything else while in shield mode. This power is very useful for surviving powerful attacks from rockets, grenades or boss attacks.
