Tips
  • Conserve ammunition whenever possible. Use your survival knife for weaker enemies or when stealth is an option.
  • Health is difficult to regain. Rest only when absolutely necessary and safe, and save blue potions for critical moments, especially for curing poison.
  • Pay close attention to conversations with the dead. They provide vital clues for puzzles and strategies.
  • Understand the limitations of your weapons and crystals. Plan your attacks and crystal usage carefully.
  • Be aware of the five-day in-game timer. While not always a direct threat in every level, it adds pressure to your overall mission.
