Tips
  • Conserve ammunition; it is rare.
  • Health can only be regained by resting (which speeds up time and leaves you vulnerable) or by using rare blue potions.
  • Blue potions are crucial for curing poison and should be saved for later levels.
  • The Walther P4 handgun and survival knife are your starting weapons for approximately half the game.
  • Equipped crystals have a limited number of uses before shattering, except for the yellow crystal used for conversations.
  • Picking up certain objects grants points, with every two points awarding one health point.
