Play¶
Play runs your game as it is now, with citsy, the same engine that plays it on Chili Platform and on VGC Zero.

Inventory and variables¶
Under the screen, two tables show the running game:
- Inventory: how many of each item the avatar carries.
- Variables: every variable's value.
They update as you play, so you can see a dialog change a variable or give an item.
