Field notes
The game tracks how often an answer has been named: used answers drop to 10% and gradually regain strength over about a week, wherever they fit. The page also describes a progression from camp to underground areas, where prompts get trickier and the lantern’s oil burns faster; scouting goals unlock at score 5, followed by an upgrade choice before each new area.
