In-game screenshots as evidence
Some mechanics on this site are described from the game's own on-screen interface text, read from the official screenshots published on the Steam store page. Those panels are labelled In-game text and the source line names the exact screenshot file, so the reading can be audited.
Community and third-party sources
Community wikis and forum threads are used to discover where players get stuck. They are never treated as proof of a game fact, and anything that depends on them is labelled Community. Where a widely repeated community claim has no match in the official sources, this site says no official match was found rather than repeating it as fact.
