Game Loop

• Explore during the day to collect resources and stay hydrated.
• Use gathered items for crafting.
• Survive nightly attacks until dawn, and repeat.
• Reach day five and survive until morning to win.

Core Systems

• Survival stats: health, stamina, hunger, and hydration drain over time and display on the HUD.
• Resource gathering: approach nodes, equip the right tool, and drink at water sources to stay hydrated.
• Inventory and crafting: manage backpack and hotbar slots, consume food or potions, and craft new gear.
• Combat: equip the sword, swing with simple melee attacks, and loot enemies when they fall.
• Enemy nights: dark hours spawn waves that pursue the player and retreat when dawn arrives.
• Day and night cycle: smooth lighting and music transitions lead into a win screen when you endure long enough.

Controls

• Move with WASD.
• Sprint with Left Shift while you have stamina.
• Interact or gather with E when a prompt shows.
• Attack with F when the sword is equipped in the hotbar.
• Open or close the inventory with I and pick hotbar slots with number keys.
• Consume potion or meat with R key.
• T to change facing angle

Tips

• If stamina hits zero you must recover above the threshold before sprinting again.
• Drinking nodes refill hydration instantly and do not need a tool equipped.
• Crafting pulls ingredients straight from your inventory, so keep it stocked.
• Healing pyramids scattered around the island work at night but stay dormant during the day.
• Monsters will drop meat, use wisely since they are your only source of food. They can also be crafted into potion. Monsters will increase in spawn every night.
