Field notes
The page describes a simulation in which materials and creatures share the same rules: lightning travels through wet ground, while iron takes extra damage. Visibility and detection also vary by light source, creature senses, and the player's body. Progression is framed as knowledge learned within a run rather than persistent unlocks, and the described return-from-death mechanic requires a phylactery, a clone, and costly materials.
