Tips
  • Health can be regained by resting (risky as it speeds up time) or by finding rare blue potions.
  • Blue potions are crucial for curing poison, especially in later levels.
  • Items can grant points, with every two points awarded increasing health by one.
  • Crystals have special powers but shatter after multiple uses, except for the unlimited-use yellow crystal.
  • Be mindful of potion effects, which are temporary.
  • Miscellaneous items like the red cloak, map, canvas bag, and tinderbox are vital for puzzles and progression.
  • Collect treasures to increase your score and health.
