Chapter 01
Your first-run checklist
- Choose solo play or gather up to four pirates before entering the cursed location.
- Keep one clear route back to the ship before the crew pushes deeper for treasure.
- Test grab, pull, throw, and environmental interactions with the elastic arms early.
- Carry useful loot home in small wins instead of risking the whole crew for one perfect haul.

Chapter 03
Survive as a crew
Good crews naturally split into searching, hauling, watching for threats, and protecting the retreat. Roles can change every minute, but everyone should know where the exit line is.
- Use distractions deliberately instead of letting every pirate panic in a different direction.
- The developer confirms a physical butt-slam rescue for downed crewmates; the exact timing and controls should be checked in the live build.
- When the route becomes noisy or crowded, protect the loot already secured rather than feeding the next monster.
