| Step | Action | Why it matters | |------|--------|----------------| | | - Move: Arrow keys / left‑stick - Jump: Space / A - Interact / Pick‑up: E / X - Crouch / Hide: C / B | Hard‑40 leaves almost no margin for error; muscle memory saves seconds. | | B. Adjust Settings | - Graphics: Medium‑high (keep FPS ≥ 60) - Audio: Enable “Cue” channel → it signals hidden trap proximity - Difficulty: Keep “Hard” (no auto‑assist) | Higher FPS = smoother reaction time; audio cues are crucial for invisible lasers. | | C. Gather Resources | - Cheese Snacks (found in the first safe room) → replenish stamina. - Babko Glyphs → each unlocks a unique ability (see §4). | Running out of cheese = instant death; missing a glyph can lock a shortcut. | | D. Save Points | There are four manual save stations (green mushroom icons). Save before each major puzzle zone. | A mistake can force a restart from the beginning; using saves cuts down repetition. |
| Glyph | Activation | Cool‑down | Optimal Use | |-------|------------|-----------|--------------| | | Q | 12 s | On ice platforms, just before you’d slip off. | | Red – Stealth Cloak | W | 10 s | When a wolf’s vision cone overlaps you; lasts 3 s. | | Yellow – Glyph‑Swap | E | 15 s | During the Temple puzzle; swaps any two glyph slots. | | Green – Laser‑Shift | R | 9 s | On Frost‑Bridge; shifts a laser one tile left/right. | | Purple – Double‑Cheese | F (found only after completing Zone 3) | 20 s | Instantly refills 30 % stamina; use only before the final dash. |
