How the story moves forward
You progress through conversations, relationships, and the routines of village life. How you speak, offer comfort, and handle trust affects how other people trust you and respond as the woods and waters become dangerous.
Your words and decisions shape the story, and some choices lead to unfavorable outcomes.
You can build trust, challenge other people's beliefs, or push them away. The resulting relationships and reputation define your path through grief, faith, and fear.
Choose a decision mode and protect your route
- At the start, choose between a mode that lets you redo choices and a mode that makes your decisions final.
- Pick the redo-choices mode if you want flexible decisions, or choose final decisions if you want your choices to carry more weight.
- In final-choices mode, you can still roll dialogue back, but there is a limit on how far back you can go.
- Save at choice points and use the available save slots when you want recovery points for replays or achievement attempts.
