How to read this guide
Official information first—testing after launch
The game is not yet in players’ hands, so preview footage cannot support a complete walkthrough. This page separates published facts from anything that still needs a release-build test. That boundary keeps an early guide useful without turning speculation into a false mechanic.
After launch, practical details will be checked on a named platform and game version. When a patch changes a number, route or behavior, the update date will stay visible instead of silently replacing the original context.
