    Your parachute failed, separating you from your team and leaving you with only a flashlight and survival knife.

  5. 5
    You have five game days before the god fully awakens.
Tips
  • Combat is a blend of FPS and RPG; survival horror elements are present.
  • Monsters respawn, ammo is scarce, and you move at the same speed as enemies.
  • Health is regained by resting (which speeds up time) or rare blue potions.
  • Blue potions cure poison and are vital for later levels.
  • You start with only a handgun and survival knife for about half the game.
  • Conversations with dead individuals via a yellow crystal provide puzzle clues, monster strategies, and story details.
  • Type keywords into the dialogue box to interact with the dead.
  • Items grant points, with two points equaling one health point.
  • Items include weapons, crystals with special powers (limited uses, except the yellow crystal), potions (invincibility, slow time), miscellaneous items for puzzles, and treasure.
