Tips
  • Monsters respawn over time, so avoid unnecessary engagements.
  • Blue potions are crucial for curing poison, especially in later levels. Save them.
  • Resting speeds up time significantly and leaves you vulnerable. Use it cautiously.
  • The Walther P4 handgun and survival knife are your starting weapons for a considerable portion of the game.
  • Pay attention to environmental clues and item descriptions for puzzle solutions.
