I have no relation with Lancer-X/ASCEAI. From the Meritous README file:
MERITOUS v 1.0 for Windows 98/2K/XP by Lancer-X/ASCEAI Far below the surface of the planet is a secret. A place of limitless power. Those that seek to control such a utopia will soon bring an end to themselves. Seeking an end to the troubles that plague him, PSI user MERIT journeys into the hallowed Orcus Dome in search of answers. INSTALLATION: Run Meritous.exe after extraction and everything should work correctly. If the game is too difficult for you, you can play in 'Wuss mode' for a far more sombre gaming experience. BASIC CONTROLS: Arrow keys - Move around. To walk through doors, simply walk up to them and push against them. Space - Charge your PSI circuit for attacking. Escape - Exit the game. H - View the help file. Tab - View the map (you can then use the arrow keys to scroll around the map. Enter - Activate a trigger tile that you are standing on. Enter is also used for various other things, such as for reading in-game dialogue. P - Pause the game. COMMENTS: You can send comments/questions/whatever to asceai@gmail.com ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: Thanks to my beta testers: Quasar, Terryn and Wervyn, for their hard work in assisting me in keeping Meritous fairly stable.
