Guide Pathways into Darkness: The Blighted Forest

Walkthrough

1
The game begins with your parachute failing, separating you from your team and leaving you with only a flashlight and survival knife.
2
Your mission is to reach the bottom of the pyramid and detonate a nuclear device to stun the Dreaming God and bury it under rock.
3
The pyramid is filled with monsters created by the awakening god, and you have five in-game days before it fully awakens.
4
Gameplay blends first-person shooter and RPG elements with survival horror conventions. Combat is deliberate, as monsters respawn, ammo is scarce, and you move at a similar pace to enemies.
5
Health is regained by resting (which speeds up time and leaves you vulnerable) or by using rare blue potions, which also cure poison.
6
Conversations with dead individuals via a magic yellow crystal provide puzzle clues, monster strategies, and story information. Keywords are used to prompt responses.
7
Items found include weapons (some with multiple ammo types), crystals with special powers (that degrade with use, except the yellow one), potions with various effects, miscellaneous items for puzzles, and treasure that increases score and health.
8
Picking up items grants points, with two points equaling one health point.

Tips

Conserve ammo and health; direct combat is often not the best approach.
Use the yellow crystal to gather information from the dead, as it has unlimited uses.
Save blue potions for when you are poisoned, as they are the only cure and health restoration.
Be aware that resting speeds up time, bringing the god closer to awakening.
Explore thoroughly to find valuable items and treasure that can aid your survival.
