CONTEXTO DEL JUEGO
La historia que nos ocupa es la de ANABEL, una anciana católica que vive en los alrededores de PENDLE HILL, al norte de INGLATERRA, a principios del siglo XVII. Una época en la que el catolicismo era denostado y oprimido. Una época incierta, supersticiosa, donde iglesia, leyes y reyes, como JACOBO I con su DAEMONOLOGIE, alientan al descubrimiento, persecución y destrucción de todo aquel que tenga algo que ver con la brujería.
Tras la muerte de su hija y el marido de su hija por enfermedad (¿gripe?,¿peste?) la anciana se tiene que ocupar de su nieta trabajando duramente en la granja familiar.
Su nieta se llama ÁNGELA, es una chica joven con un extraño don que ocultan con recelo, pero que al final deciden compartir con quien lo necesita a petición de la propia ÁNGELA, a pesar del posible peligro que eso implica. Son sus manos. Sanan.
Y aunque la vida es difícil, con la ayuda de vecinos y amigos, ANABEL y ÁNGELA son felices con lo que DIOS les ofrece y con lo que ellas pueden ofrecer a ÉL y a su comunidad.
El juego comienza cuando ANABEL vuelve a casa tras un pequeño viaje para ayudar a unos familiares lejanos, dejando a ÁNGELA ocupandose de la granja. Pero al llegar se encuentra con la peor de sus pesadillas, algo que pondrá su vida y su FE a prueba.
(Necesitarás un emulador de MSX para jugar. Personalmente recomiendo BlueMSX o OpenMSX).

screen's been filled with garbage just after Anabel was killed to fall into well (in opening sequence).
is this intentional ?
i have tried different settings and changing machine on OpenMSX emulator, but it won't change.
Yes, it is intentional. Represents the past, the present and the future, because it is random data of the code game itself. A bit conceptual, sorry :D
