Tips
- Conserve ammunition; it is scarce.
- Use the yellow crystal to talk to the dead for clues about puzzles and strategies.
- Health can only be regained by resting (which speeds up time and leaves you vulnerable) or by finding rare blue potions.
- Blue potions are crucial for curing poison, so save them for later levels.
- Not all monsters can be killed conventionally, and they respawn over time.
- Movement speed is similar to monsters, so direct confrontation is often not the best strategy.
- Picking up certain objects grants points, with every two points awarding one health point.
