Campus Resources
As you might be aware by now, much of the Ockham University campus has been magically sealed off, depriving you of many of its resources. Luckily, however, quite a bit of it is still within your reach. It's a good idea to familiarize yourself with the area at hand. You might well find these resources handy.
Your dorm room
Your dorm room is obviously your home base. This is where you'll start your adventure, and you can go back as much as you'd like. You can use it to get away from the hustle and bustle now and then, or you can leave items in it for safekeeping. You'll always have the key on you; whenever you go through the door, you'll automatically lock and unlock it, ensuring that prying eyes and sticky fingers stay out.
You'll find your bed here. If you're feeling a little exhausted or worked over, you can hop into this bed and take a refreshing power nap. To lie down, simply step toward the bed and you'll be prompted.
Because the room will always be locked, you can leave stuff here to lighten your load or to just ensure that it stays secure. Drop things with the ''' command, and if you need to, pick them up later with the ',' command. At the end of your game, items in your dorm room, like items in your inventory, will be factored into the calculation of your final score.
Shops
There are a number of places on campus where you can spend your scrip. At the moment, however, only three of those on the surface above SouthLab are available to you.
Ockham Oxpress is your campus convenience store. This is where you'll find all the good food that students enjoy. You might find a few other things as well.
The Department of Magic Studies Bookstore is the destination for Magic Studies coursebooks and CoolsNotes. A few other things might be available as well.
The School of Martial Arts Supply Depot is the on-campus provider of arms and armour.
Some enterprising students (probably business majors) may have set up shops in the depths of the SouthLab complex as well. Be sure to check them out.
Shops may be somewhat confusing to use at first, but they're really pretty straightforward. A shop's inventory will be laid out for you to easily view. If you see something you like, pick it up with the ',' command; it'll be added to a shopping cart separate from your inventory. From the shopping cart, you can also examine items to see what exactly they are and drop items that you've changed your mind about. To view the shopping cart, use the available command on your keyboard: '$', '£', or '€'. To pay for things in the shopping cart, 't'alk to the shopkeeper.
You can also sell things in shops, assuming the particular shop is willing to buy the particular kind of item you're selling. To try selling something, drop it with the ''' command.
SouthLab Foyer
The Foyer of the South Laboratory of Fantastical Fantasy is the entrance from the surface to the SouthLab complex. At first you'll only see one staircase going down to the first underground level. Descend it with the '>' command.
SouthLab's exiled students and faculty have informed you that there are also normally four other staircases that lead into the depths. At the moment they have been sealed, but you might be able to unlock each one as you encounter them. These staircases will serve as shortcuts from every tenth floor back to the surface and vice versa, so keep that in mind.
