Plan your next SANABI session
Our independent guide examines SANABI’s core systems, offering observations that help you refine movement, interpret narrative beats, and make the most of built‑in platform features without relying on external upgrades.
01 / THE GUIDE
Hook Swing Calibration
Launch the chain‑hook from low platforms toward higher ledges. Note the release point that yields the greatest height, then repeat to build muscle memory for precise jumps.
- Practice swinging in open areas to learn the distance covered by each hook launch.
- When an enemy is near a platform edge, aim the hook to pull yourself into a position that lands a direct hit.
02 / THE GUIDE
Enemy Weakness Exploitation
When Mari highlights a foe’s vulnerability, observe the enemy’s attack pattern and time your hook strike to hit during its recovery phase for maximum effectiveness.
- Observe environmental details such as broken signage or flickering lights for clues about the blackout.
- Collect any data logs you encounter; they often expand the story’s context.
03 / THE GUIDE
Data Log Mapping
Mark the locations of encrypted logs on a simple sketch of MAGO. Patterns often emerge that guide you toward the next narrative segment.
- Ask Mari to scan sealed areas before attempting to force entry.
- Listen for her comments about enemy behavior; they often point out exploitable traits.
04 / THE GUIDE
Controller vs Keyboard Comparison
Perform the same traversal sequence using both input methods. Record any differences in responsiveness or comfort, then choose the setup that best suits fast‑paced sections.
- Enable Steam Cloud in the game’s options before your first save.
- Test the controller in a low‑risk area to confirm button assignments work as expected.
05 / THE GUIDE
Narrative Rhythm Awareness
Watch how story dialogue aligns with platform challenges. Anticipating this rhythm can help you prepare for upcoming puzzles or combat encounters.
- Notice how the game’s pacing shifts between fast platform sections and slower story moments.
- Pay attention to visual cues that reinforce the cyber‑punk theme; they often hint at hidden paths.
