1. Childhood

Your first decision in the game is to choose between a male of female hero, please notice that this does not take any affect of the storyline itself.Follow Rose to the sale where a man is selling a "magical" music box for 5 gold. A character named Theresa appears, hinting that this music box may actually possess some magical powers. Your first quest is to make 5 gold to purchase the music box.

Follow the golden bread trail to the guard (warrants will be pieces of paper on the ground near the trail as you complete other jobs), who needs you to collect five missing warrants, and promises a single gold piece. After accepting you will be lead to an olde time photographer who will pay you and Rose 1 gold coin to pose for a photo. Do so and continue on your quest for "riches". From there on you will find a bully beating on a dog, and eventually hits your sister. Weild your mighty wooden sword and defeat him. Proceed on to a shopkeep who needs you to kill large beetles upstairs. When you enter the shop a man will give you the option to destroy the stock for a gold coin. I found it easier to kill the beetles and it won't have any affect on corruption
after this quest is complete.

Continue and you'll find a tramp, who needs you to grab his wine from Magpie. Magpie is in an alley behind you (not down the stairs). Don't worry about waking him up, grab the wine and give it either Betty (good) or Pete (evil). Either way you get your coin and final arrest warrant, which somehow got in the bottle. Make your way back to the guard, a man named Arthur will demand the warrants, giving Arthur the warrants will eventually have a negative impact on the town, whereas giving the warrants to the guard will yield positive results.

One more coin to go, and you will find a man named Monty calling at his girlfriend from outside. Talk to him to get a proposal letter then knock on the girlfriends door. Yet again you have an option to be good or evil, either give it to the Mother or go upstairs and give it to Belinda.

Now that you have five gold, go get the music box and bring it to a quiet place. Head into your shack and sleep, Rose's diary is also there if you'd like to take it. In the scene you'll meet Jeeves, Garth, and Lucien, who all appear later on in the main story.
