  3. 3

  5. 5
    Solve puzzles using found items like the red cloak, map, and tinderbox.
  6. 6
    Collect treasures to increase score and health.
  7. 7

Tips
  • Conserve ammo; your starting Walther P4 handgun and survival knife are your primary weapons for a significant portion of the game.
  • Blue potions are crucial for curing poison and regaining health; save them for critical moments.
  • Resting to regain health is risky as it speeds up time, potentially allowing monsters to respawn or the Dreaming God to awaken sooner.
  • Pay attention to conversations with the dead; keywords can unlock vital information about puzzles and enemy weaknesses.
  • Crystals have unique powers but shatter after multiple uses, except for the unlimited yellow crystal for communication.
