It is recommended to install K-Lite Codec Pack for the correct work of in-game audio
The game has cheats menu, to activate the cheats double-click on the left top of the option menu to activate general cheats, on the left top of a dungeon to automatically do a Dungeon (without getting items) and on the right top of the map selection screen to get access to all maps

Sadly the problem does not seem to be limited to the tutorial.

The EmpiresDungeons.exe requires online registration which of course does not work.
The game.exe starts the game but you can't keep any items you find in dungeons.
Even potions which should not be restricted at all ask you to replace a non existent lvl.8 common secondary weapon without any abilities. The replace button does not work on this and you can only go back and sell the item.
I'm running windows 10 but it is hard to imagin that this kind of error is related to the OS.
If there is no workaround, you might as well take the game down as playing without items seems not to be an enjoyable option.

@Nova - About full version of the game - it is full, run the game from game.exe, not EmpiresDungeons.exe.
And yeah, it seems that tutorial is broken in full version, probably because of "cracked" exe-file. Install demo version to play the tutorial, tutorial works fine there.

Seems to be an issue with the tutorial. Can't seem to equip the weapon it gives you like at all. Also is this some sort of free trial and not the full game? It keeps reminding me of that.
