Walkthrough

- 3Navigate 25 levels, fighting monsters and solving puzzles.
- 4Use the magic yellow crystal to talk to dead individuals for hints on puzzles, monster strategies, and story details.
- 5Defeat the Dreaming God before the five-day timer runs out.
Tips
- Conserve ammo; it's rare and monsters respawn.
- Health is regained by resting (risky as it speeds up time) or rare blue potions.
- Blue potions also cure poison, so save them for later levels.
- Not all monsters can be killed conventionally.
- Movement speed is similar to monsters, so direct confrontation isn't always best.
- Picking up items grants points, with every two points giving one health point.
- Crystals have special powers but shatter after multiple uses, except the yellow crystal.
- Be aware of the five-day in-game timer.
