The game is played from an isometric perspective. The gameplay involves running from one room in the maze-like tower to the next, all the while avoiding the mechanical creatures that have been sent after you. Since you can’t attack those creatures at all, the only way to make things fair is to collect the various potions that are scattered across the tower. The potions are power-ups that can help you harm enemies, turn you invisible and make you do an assortment of things.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
