Tips

Conserve ammunition and health, as they are scarce.
Blue potions are vital for curing poison and should be saved for later levels.
Resting speeds up time considerably and leaves you vulnerable; use it strategically.
The yellow crystal for communication can be used an unlimited number of times.
Pay attention to the keywords provided by the dead to unlock more information.
Some items grant points towards health when picked up; every two points give one health point.
Be prepared for the game's blend of first-person shooting, RPG elements, and survival horror conventions.
