o>---< 1. About Towelket 4 >-----------------------------<o
This is the English patched version of Towelket 2. The Towelket series is a long-running RPG series created in RPG Maker 2000/MV. 
There are 14 games in the series which go by the release order: 3->2->1->6->4->Fury->5->Nekoashiotome-chan->Warau,Warawau->Sorakara->Yoru no Umi->Yorumorukimiri trilogy

o>---< 2. Running the game >-----------------------------<o
To launch the game choose one of the following:

- Run one of the two executable files: StartFullscreen.exe or StartWindowed.exe
OR
- Open the data folder and run RPG_RT.exe
OR
- Open the data folder and run Player.exe, which is the open source EasyRPG player. The test play batch file is for debugging etc.

o>---< 3. Controls and Gameplay >-----------------------------<o
The controls resemble other games made with RPG maker:

Arrow Keys: Move Character
Escape;	X; Numpad 0: Open Ring Menu/Cancel
Enter; Z: Talk, Inspect, Confirm
Shift: Fast menu
F12: Return to title WITHOUT SAVING
F4;Alt+Enter: Toggle Windowed/Fullscreen
F5; Change Window Size

The combat mechanics follow the standard RPG maker combat system closely. There are a few unusual aspects:

- Monsters don't appear by walking around randomly, but are visible on the overworld as symbols. When the player walks into them a battle starts.
- Whenever the player presses X, a ring-shaped submenu with 5 options appears instead of the standard menu.

Menu: Opens the standard RPG Maker menu with items, character skills etc. You can access this menu quickly by pressing Shift.
Hint: Transports you to Elizabeth's hint corner, where you can get various tips and Elizabeth's snarky comments.
Mind: Enters a representation of the main character's mind, where he can find memories of his adventure, learn additional skills and more.
The flowers: Sometimes you find "Growth flowers" which you can plant into the three different flowerbeds.
When you plant a flower, every character in the active party gets a permanent stat bonus. You can find flowers in three categories:
-Bronze: +1 stat
-Silver: +3 stat
-Gold: +10 stat (there are only two spots for Gold flowers!)
End: Closes the ring menu. Alternatively you can just press X to cancel.

More information about the Mind:
The rooms can be decorated with pets, furniture etc. Each time you buy/find a new item/pet/person, you can interact with them. Some of them grant you one-time bonuses and special skills.
The doors to the left fill up with your memories as the story goes on, and some of the memories are optional depending on your actions.
The kitchen to the right can be used to process "Foodstuffs", which increase slightly whenever you participate in battles. Once you have the right tool for cooking like a pot or frying pan, you can use them in the kitchen to prepare various dishes.

When you get stuck you can use HINT corner in the ring menu. See this link for more tips:

o>---< 4. Bugs/Glitches/Oversights >-----------------------------<o

- When using EasyRPG there may a few minor glitches (depending on the version of EasyRPG).

o>---< 5. Translation notes >-----------------------------<o

- A recurring term/gag in Towelket is "mofu mofu", which is most likely a reference to Dragon Quest's "puff puff", which is smothering someone's face with breasts.
- Onee-chan is a way to refer to an older sister or any slightly older female, like a schoolmate.
- Some Japanese honorifics/forms of address have been left in the game: 
1. -chan is a cute, endearing suffix for people the speaker is familiar with.
Onee-chan is a way to refer to an older sister or any slightly older female, like a schoolmate. Onii-chan is the same, except for an older brother or older male.
2. -kun is a suffix used by people of senior status addressing or referring to those of junior/equal status, e.g. the groom towards Mocha
3. -san is a respectful suffix similar to Mr. or Ms., for example some people in the game address the Groom as "Groom-san".
4. -sama is a very respectful suffix, that is mostly used to show high deference.
