Tips

Combat requires careful strategy; running and gunning is not effective.
Monsters respawn over time, and ammo is scarce.
Health can only be regained by resting (which speeds up time and leaves you vulnerable) or by using rare blue potions.
Blue potions are crucial for curing poison and should be saved for later levels.
The Walther P4 handgun and survival knife are the starting weapons for roughly half the game.
Conversations with dead individuals via a yellow crystal provide puzzle clues, monster strategies, and story information. Type keywords to get responses.
Items grant points, with two points equaling one health point.
Crystals have special powers but shatter after repeated use, except for the unlimited-use yellow crystal.
Potions offer temporary effects like invincibility or time slowing.
Miscellaneous items are used for puzzles, navigation, or holding other items.
Treasures increase score and health points.
