Open the adventure.

• Runtime ZIP rejected: use the exact Wine 6 ZIP linked above. A different runtime, extracted folder or incomplete download will fail the size or checksum check.
• Play disabled or executable missing: complete both imports. Your game folder needs BookwormAdventures.exe, main.pak and its supporting files; main.pak alone is only enough for the separate inspector.
• ZIP too large or unsafe: use a complete extracted game folder, or a ZIP under 512 MB without unrelated files or parent-directory paths.
• Blank screen during startup: the first launch can take several minutes. “Runtime started” means the compatibility runtime is running; wait for the original trial/menu screen. Keep this tab visible.
• Original trial asks you to play: choose its Play button. Its time limits still apply. Choose No if the original game asks to check for updates. Use the original on-screen OK button for New User dialogs; Continue targets story dialogs and is not a universal confirmation button.
• Dialog hidden by zoom: choose Full view. Follow the tutorial prompts before selecting PLAY and pressing Attack.
• Silent game: interact with Play first, then check Sound on, browser audio permission and device volume. A saved mute choice is restored.
• Game stopped or memory error: use Stop if available, then reopen the player and Play. Close other game tabs and use a device with more available memory if it repeats. Diagnostics records the error.
• Storage or removal blocked: close other Bookworm tabs and enable local site storage in a regular browser profile.

To save your adventure, use the original Menu → Quit To Main Menu → Yes, then Stop. Stop flushes the local Wine prefix and reloads setup. Reopen in the same browser and choose Adventure to resume. First-chapter battle recovery has been checked after closing and reopening the browser; full-campaign saves remain unverified. If Stop reports a storage failure, keep this tab open, free local site storage and retry. Keep the runtime ZIP and original game folder separately. Remove saved files clears imports and the local Wine prefix, including trial state and any game saves stored there. Use it only when you intend to reset and reimport.
