Tips

Conserve ammunition; many monsters cannot be killed conventionally, and they respawn.
Resting to regain health is risky as it speeds up time and leaves you vulnerable. Prioritize finding blue potions.
The yellow crystal for conversations has unlimited uses, unlike other crystals which shatter after multiple charges.
Pay attention to keywords in conversations to unlock more information.
Treasure items not only increase your score but also provide health points.
The Walther P4 handgun and survival knife are your starting equipment for a significant portion of the game.
