How to play: beginner tips
- There are multiple endings: save before big decisions if the game lets you.
- Play with headphones — sound cues usually warn you before a threat appears.
- Prioritise shelter and a renewable food source before exploring far.
- Reinvest early earnings into upgrades that raise income, not cosmetics.
- If stuck, step away — fresh eyes solve more puzzles than brute force.
