How to play: beginner tips
- Try every weapon type early — the starter weapon is rarely the best.
- Learn each boss's tells on a throwaway attempt before committing resources.
- 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.
- Split roles with friends — one scout, one builder, one fighter — instead of all doing the same job.
