01 / THE GUIDE
Assess Zone Threats
Before entering a new area, pause to scan visual and audio cues. Compare ambient sound intensity and lighting to gauge SCP presence, then decide whether stealth or direct combat is safer.
- Observe lighting and ambient sounds to gauge zone difficulty before entering.
- Take note of recurring SCP patterns to anticipate threats in new areas.

Weapon vs. SCP Tool Efficiency
Test a conventional firearm against an SCP‑derived tool on the same enemy type. Note damage, resource consumption, and any side effects to determine which option offers better sustainability.
- Balance stealth and combat to conserve resources while staying safe.
- Use parkour to bypass heavily guarded sections when possible.
03 / THE GUIDE
Parkour Pathfinding
Map out multiple traversal routes in a single zone. Compare the time and exposure risk of a parkour shortcut versus a longer, guarded corridor to decide which aligns with your play style.
- Test different SCP‑based tools to discover unexpected advantages.
- Balance weapon usage to avoid depleting limited ammunition.

Decision Impact Review
After a major choice, revisit earlier sections to see how the world state has shifted. Document any new resources or altered SCP behavior to understand long‑term consequences.
- Consider long‑term effects before making major choices.
- Revisit earlier sections to see how earlier decisions shape later events.
05 / THE GUIDE
Controller Comfort Test
Spend a short session using a gamepad for movement and basic actions. Compare comfort and reaction speed against the default input, noting any improvements in combat or navigation.
- Try using a controller for movement and basic actions to gauge comfort.
- Be ready to switch to another input method for any functions not covered by the controller.
