Despite the rudimentary battle loop using RGN in the style of old gamebooks, there is sometimes room for tactics. A started session is associated with just one save slot, meaning permadeath in theory. In practice, this is circumvented through an in-world mechanism that is akin to the bonfires of the Souls games.
