Tips
  • Movement speed is similar to monsters; avoid direct confrontation when possible.
  • Resting to regain health is risky as it speeds up time and leaves you vulnerable.
  • Blue potions are rare and essential for curing poison; save them for later levels.
  • Weapons may use different ammo types like HE and Sabot.
  • Crystals have special powers but shatter after repeated use, except for the unlimited-use yellow crystal.
  • Picking up certain objects grants points, with two points equaling one health point.
  • The map is a crucial item for navigation.
