Tips
- Combat is challenging: monsters respawn, ammo is scarce, and you move at the same speed as enemies. Avoid direct confrontation when possible.
- 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 your starting weapons for about half the game.
- Conversations with dead individuals via a yellow crystal provide puzzle clues, monster strategies, and story information. Type keywords to get responses.
- Crystals have special powers but shatter after multiple uses, except for the unlimited-use yellow crystal.
- Items grant points towards health and can be used to solve puzzles, navigate, or hold other objects.
- Treasures increase your score and health points.
