Tips
  • Conserve ammo; use the survival knife when possible.
  • Resting speeds up time and leaves you vulnerable; use it cautiously.
  • Save blue potions for poison effects, especially in later levels.
  • The yellow crystal for conversations has unlimited uses.
  • Pay attention to environmental clues and dialogue for puzzle solutions.
  • Not all monsters can be killed conventionally; learn their weaknesses.
  • Monsters respawn, so clear areas strategically.
