Cythera

Cythera is the first RPG to be published by Ambrosia. Was influenced by the Ultima series. Cythera uses a game engine called Delver. Unlike most vintage Mac games, the scenario file uses a custom archive format instead of using the Resource Fork; an editor is available, as is extensive technical documentation which may be of use in finding further inaccessible content.

To do:
Is there anything left of the Cheat mode aside from the below text? Also, some unused interface graphics (compressed) are in the Cythera application.

Inaccessible Dialogue#

There's quite a lot of dialogue that seems to be unreachable in normal gameplay because of bugs. This is described here.

Tree of Life#

There is an inaccessible level, Map Resource 0x8027, which was first reached by hacking saved game files. It is visibly incomplete.

Cheat Mode#

Starting at C9AB2 in the executable are some messages relating to a potential cheat mode.
