Tips
  • Keywords are essential for conversations; look for them in previous statements.
  • Save blue potions for later levels when poison is a significant threat.
  • Be aware that resting speeds up time and leaves you vulnerable.
  • The Walther P4 handgun and survival knife are your starting weapons for a significant portion of the game.
  • Understand that monsters respawn and ammo is limited, requiring tactical engagement.
