Tips
- Combat is strategic; running and gunning is not effective. Monsters respawn, ammo is scarce, and you are often under-equipped.
- Health is regained by resting (which speeds up time and leaves you vulnerable) or rare blue potions.
- Blue potions are crucial for curing poison and should be saved for later levels.
- You start with only a handgun and survival knife for about half the game.
- Picking up items grants points, with every two points awarding one health point.
- Crystals have special powers but shatter after repeated use, except for the unlimited-use yellow crystal for conversations.
- Potions offer temporary buffs like invincibility or time-slowing.
- Miscellaneous items are key to puzzle-solving (e.g., red cloak, map, tinderbox).
- Treasures increase your score and health.
