Wycheweald

Wycheweald is a first-person role-playing adventure game for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum featuring exploration, minor puzzles and turn-based combat.

Over-clocking

If you are using a ZX Spectrum Next or similar that can run software over-clocked, you can set the BEEPer sound effects to match the CPU over-clock multiple so that they sound correct.
This is found in the Sound Speed Setting in the main/options menu. Also, adjust the Movement Speed Setting to a finer rendering setting to get smoother scrolling.
