Log Timeline
Record each discovered log entry with its location and timestamp. Comparing dates and sites can highlight causal links that point toward what brought the ships down.
- Note any logs or markings you encounter; they often hint at the larger mystery.
- Observe the condition of different wrecks; patterns may reveal the cause of the deaths.

- Set your display to the highest resolution your monitor supports to see environmental details clearly.
- Watch the opening cinematic closely to take in the remastered presentation of the landscapes.

Puzzle Mechanics Journal
Write down inputs, symbols, and outcomes for each puzzle you encounter. Tracking successful patterns reduces repeated trial‑and‑error and clarifies the logic behind mechanisms.
- Keep a simple notebook of puzzle symbols and mechanisms; patterns often repeat across locations.
- If a puzzle stalls, step back and reexamine your surroundings for overlooked details.
