--------------------------------------
WELCOME TO ***THE CEREBRAL SYMPHONY***
--------------------------------------

This is a game inspired in style and mechanics by SNES rpgs, particularly
Final Fantasy VI, about friendship, metarealities, the battles within our own souls,
and the Great Battle between Good and Evil. Begun as the side-project of a depressed
15-year-old, The Cerebral Symphony evolved into a passionately written,
poorly laid-out adventure story set in the--possibily hallucinatory--world
of Cerebra and featuring an ensemble cast of eight lovingly crafted characters
and some mysterious extras...

-HOW TO PLAY-

To play the game, download/copy the folder marked 'The Cerebral Symphony' onto your 
computer.

Open it up, and double-click the icon marked 'RPG_RT' to start the game.

In-game, use the ARROW KEYS to navigate, press [Z] to go forward/select
and press [x] to go back/open the main menu.

To start from the beginning, select "START" from the main menu. To start
at the beginning of Chapter 2, select "LOAD" and then the second save file; to
start from of Chapter 3, select the third save file, etc. For a different and
shorter game experience, you can start from Chapter 5 using save file 5.

-TROUBLESHOOTING-

TCS, to the best of my knowledge, will not run on Macs (unless you can
ghost-run Windows on your Mac). It will only work on Windows. If you are
using Windows 8 you may need to run it in 'Windows 7 compatability mode'.

If the fonts appear weird, your may need to copy the font files in the
game folder marked 'Fonts' into the Fonts folder on your computer, found in
the Control Panel, in order to fix them.

If you can't hear the music, you may need to turn up the MIDI volume,
or 'SW synth' volume, on your computer's audio adjustment panel.

-DISCLAIMER-

This game was made by one person in rpgmaker 2003 over in total about seven years, 
working on average about one hour a week. It is not perfect, and it has bugs, typos and
inconsistencies -please be gracious and report any to me at rpgmaker.net 

I hope you enjoy the game.
