Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The game begins with your parachute failing, separating you from your team. You'll start with only a flashlight and survival knife.

    Your mission is to reach the bottom of the pyramid and detonate a nuclear device to stun the Dreaming God before it fully awakens in five days.
  3. 3
    Navigate 25 levels, battling monsters and solving puzzles.
  4. 4
    Use the yellow crystal to converse with the dead, who provide clues about puzzles, monster strategies, and story details.
  5. 5
    Collect items to gain points, which translate to health.
  6. 6
    Manage scarce resources like ammo and health potions. Blue potions are crucial for healing and curing poison.
  7. 7
    Be aware that monsters respawn and you move at a similar speed to them, making direct combat risky.

    The ultimate goal is to reach the lowest level and prevent the Dreaming God's awakening.
Tips
  • Conserve ammo and health. Resting speeds up time and leaves you vulnerable.
  • Save blue potions for critical moments, especially when poisoned.
  • Not all monsters can be killed conventionally.
  • Explore thoroughly to find items, weapons, and clues.
  • Pay attention to dialogue with the dead for puzzle solutions and strategies.
