Tips
- Combat is a blend of first-person shooter and RPG with survival horror elements.
- Conserve ammo, as it is rare.
- Monsters respawn over time and move at the same speed as the player.
- Health can only be regained by resting (which speeds up time and leaves you vulnerable) or by drinking rare blue potions.
- Blue potions are essential for curing poison and should be saved for later levels.
- The Walther P4 handgun and survival knife are your starting weapons for roughly half the game.
- Conversations with dead individuals via a yellow crystal provide puzzle clues, story information, and monster strategies. Type keywords to get responses.
- Crystals have special powers but shatter after repeated use, except for the unlimited-use yellow crystal.
- Potions have temporary effects, ranging from invincibility to time slowing.
- Miscellaneous items are crucial for solving puzzles and progressing.
- Treasures increase your score and health points.
