Field notes
The game makes visibility a resource rather than a passive interface feature: the torch consumes oil, attracts or restrains different threats, and determines what can be seen. Its run structure carries progress between attempts through graves containing one item, while each generated hero receives a name and Chronicle entry. The page also describes two control modes and support for touch, keyboard, mouse, and trackpad.
