01 / THE GUIDE
Map Familiarization
Walk the lake’s perimeter without sprinting. Note landmarks such as ice ridges or distinctive rocks; this mental map helps later when new abilities open previously unreachable sections.
- Collect Power items early to trigger ability unlocks sooner.
- Observe how each new ability changes movement options.

- Take a leisurely walk to notice hidden paths.
- Use sprint when you want to cover distance quickly.

Ability Comparison
After each ability unlock, revisit a previously explored spot. Observe how the new move changes your approach—this highlights the practical impact of each upgrade.
- Watch for visual cues that indicate a new ability is ready.
- Test each ability in different terrain to see its effect.
