Mapping the Island
Sketch a rough map as you move; noting landmarks, elevation changes and puzzle locations can reveal patterns that aid later navigation without relying on in‑game markers.

Audio Cue Awareness
Listen for ambient sounds that shift near puzzle sites; adjusting volume controls can make subtle cues more noticeable.

Controller vs Keyboard Feel
Play a short segment with a controller to see how it feels for you. Note which feels more natural for first‑person movement and puzzle interaction, then stick with the preferred setup.
- Steam Cloud is among the listed features, so check its settings if you plan to switch computers.
