What defines this World?
- Resource scarcity makes inventory planning central to every expedition.
- Layered locations use locked routes, puzzles, shortcuts, supplies, and weapon upgrades.
- Combat and exploration take priority while investigation remains available as an optional advantage.
- Flooded Arkham mixes routes on foot and by skiff across connected districts.
Before you play
- Leave inventory space for ammunition, healing items, and puzzle resources.
- Open every shortcut before pushing deeper into a dangerous location.
- Retreat to a refuge when supplies are low instead of forcing the next encounter.
- Revisit locked rooms after obtaining keys, tools, or weapon upgrades.
