Tips

Combat requires careful strategy; running and gunning is not effective.
Monsters respawn, and ammo is scarce.
Health can only be regained by resting (which speeds up time and leaves you vulnerable) or rare blue potions.
Blue potions are crucial for curing poison, especially in later levels.
Save blue potions for when even basic monsters can poison you.
Conserve your starting weapons (Walther P4 handgun and survival knife) as they are your only means of offense for roughly half the game.
Utilize crystals for special powers, but be aware they shatter after repeated use (except the yellow crystal for conversations).
Collect items to gain points, as every two points grant one health point.
Solve puzzles using miscellaneous items like the red cloak and tinderbox.
Treasure items increase your score and health points.
Engage in conversations with dead individuals via a magic yellow crystal to gain puzzle information, monster strategies, and story details. Type keywords to get responses.
