The developer's non-negotiable principles are "no hand-holding" and "learn by dying."
These manifest as zero tutorials, cryptic item descriptions, deliberate obfuscation, punishing combat with delayed attacks, interconnected levels that demand exploration and failure, and an opaque narrative told solely through environment and item lore—forcing players to piece together the world themselves through repeated death and observation.
