THE WELL IS NOT EMPTY Guides

First mission priorities

• Descend methodically: clear rubble, read nearby notes, identify the next dark room, crank its backup generator, and move while the light remains active. Save stamina and attention for rats, prisoner gates, and balance sections instead of sprinting through every corridor.
• Find the backup hand-crank generator outside or near the dark room, operate it to restore lighting, then immediately follow the cleared route through the den. The light is temporary, so inspect the route first and do not spend the safe interval searching side corners without an exit plan.
• Destroy rubble that blocks the active tunnel, then inspect the newly opened floor, walls, and objects before moving on. Rubble is both a route gate and a way to expose clues or danger, so clear one obstruction at a time rather than opening several unknown paths and losing orientation.
• Use the rusty spoon to knock tunnel rats out of the route, then inspect what they were covering. Keep distance from prison gates; if a prisoner grabs you, follow the displayed quick-time input immediately rather than continuing movement or attack inputs.
