The Whispered World

Copy protection

The German first edition of the game had, in addition to TAGES software copy protection, a set of three twelve-sided dice with symbols instead of numbers. At the start-up of the game, the player was prompted with a picture of these three dice with all sides blank except for two. The center-side facing towards the player is marked with an "?" while one of the others has a symbol on it. The player's task is to use his real dice, turn it around until the side with the corresponding symbol is on the exact position as shown on the screen and then enter the symbol from the side the "?" in the picture is on. Once he has successfully entered all three symbols, the game starts normally. This procedure had to be done at every start-up of the game.
