Walkthrough
- 1The game blends first-person shooter and RPG elements with survival horror conventions.
- 2Combat requires careful strategy due to respawning enemies, scarce ammo, and similar player/monster movement speeds.
- 3Health is regained by resting (risky) or rare blue potions, which also cure poison.

- 6Keywords typed into a dialogue box trigger responses from the dead.

- 9The yellow crystal for talking to the dead has unlimited uses.
- 10The ultimate goal is to reach the bottom level and detonate a nuclear device to stun the Dreaming God.
Tips
