Eris' Scissors

- CONTROLS -

MOUSE to move and click to cut the red threads of fate

X to advance dialogue/create lines of strife

Z to restart a level

- RULES -

OBJECTIVE: Reduce the total love in a level to 0.

• Use MOUSE to cut red threads of fate
• Each thread cut reduces the total love by 1.
• Each thread cut costs 1 Power

WALLS ARE OBSTACLES

• If a thread intersects with a wall you cannot cut it!
• Use MOUSE to break down walls (so you can cut the thread)
• Each wall has 2HP meaning it costs 2 Power to break one down
• People cannot pass through walls (unless they're ghosts)

GAME OVER: If the timer (for that level) runs out OR if your Power is reduced to 0.

• If two soulmates* "bump" into each other, it's instantly game over. So cut their string before they get to each other!
• If two people "bump" into each other, then they'll "fall in love" and form a new red thread of fate.
• *soulmates are people who have a string connecting them to each other (person A connects to person B and person B connects to person A).

LINE OF STRIFE

• If you have two loveless people (red and sad), you can make a line of strife between them. If anyone moves into the line of strife they'll become loveless and have their love reduced to 0.

To form a line of strife do the following:

1. Hover your mouse over person 1 and press X at the same time.
2. Hover your mouse over person 2 and press X at the same time.
3. There will now be a line of strife between them.
