Hey there, is it possible to have the major commands please if it’s not a huge list? I’m feeling like I’m guessing a bit and have gotten stuck.

Edit- Actually please ignore! Sorry I don’t know why I missed there is a walkthrough that can be downloaded.

Examples For example if you try to *look* at the apparition it says there's no such thing, but you can try to *talk* to it. The maps can't be *looked* at, they need to be *read*. It tells you that you need to set the dial, but then tells you that the dial cannot be *set*, or it is fixed in place if you try to *turn* it?​ I can turn the cannon on, but I don't seem to be able to *use* it? (I don't play a lot of parser games regularly so this may be a me problem not getting it! Sorry if this is a silly question.)

Set dial to liberty, etc.

It is an apparition and only exists when looking from the after deck and then turns into the lady but still provides an explanation afterwards. 

The narrative is like breadcrumbs. It all but explicitly describes how things work.

// From transcript

You can see a shimmering apparition here.

>look at apparition

The shimmering or apparition appears to be taking on the shape of a lady.

 Out of the corner of your eye, you see something forming on a window.

 >look at apparition

The shimmering apparition no longer exists. It has coalesced into a fully floating corporeral lady.

// End transcript

PS. You have to "look AT object" not "look object"

"examine  object" also works.
