Something unseen follows you through the Cursed City, and the curse gets stronger the longer you stay. The map's core survival advice is simple: keep moving so the things in the shadows do not catch you.
Movement Habits That Keep You Safe
- Don't linger. Standing still for long periods gives whatever is following you time to close in.
- Pause briefly, and with a purpose. Stop only to listen or check your surroundings, then move on.
- Keep a way out in mind. Before you enter a building or a narrow street, note how you came in so you can leave quickly.
- Watch your back. Turn around now and then. The follower stays close behind you, so a quick look back can tell you whether you need to speed up.
Reading the Signs
- Whispers: Listen to where they come from. A sound that keeps getting louder or closer is a cue to change direction.
- Shadows: Moving shadows can be tricks on your eyes, so don't panic at every flicker. If movement keeps appearing in the same direction, steer away from it.
- Rising curse: As time passes, the town becomes scarier. Treat this as a timer. The longer you take, the harder things get, so avoid wasting time in areas you have already searched.
If You Feel Cornered
Don't freeze in a dark corner. Move toward a more open street and keep going while you listen for where the threat is coming from.
