01 / THE GUIDE
Class Comparison
Play short runs with two different classes, noting how each skill set changes combat outcomes and resource management. Record which class feels more adaptable to random world layouts.
- Prioritize movement when the darkness is close.
- Balance combat with resource gathering to stay ahead.

- Experiment with different names to discover varied environments.
- Use memorable words for worlds you might want to revisit.

Vault Utilization
During a run, deliberately collect surplus items, then store them in the Dimensional Vault before a boss. Compare the impact of having those items available in the next run.
- Try several classes to find a playstyle that fits your strategy.
- Consider class strengths when planning encounters.
04 / THE GUIDE
Time Freeze Timing
Identify moments when the darkness is closest and activate time control. Evaluate how the pause affects your decision‑making and whether it improves survival rates.
- Store high‑value items in the vault before a tough segment.
- Use time freeze to assess enemy patterns before engaging.
05 / THE GUIDE
Cloud Save Verification
After completing a world, check that unlockables appear on a fresh installation with Steam Cloud enabled. Confirm that only clear data is excluded from mid‑game saves.
- Enable Steam Cloud to keep unlockables across installations.
- Use the controller for comfort, but be aware of partial support.
