Press T for investigation, R for records, I for inventory, S to retain progress, and Escape to close dialogs. The HUD reports NERVE, world STABILITY, retained records, and event time. Analytical tools are intentionally unavailable in 0.0.0.

PRE-REGISTER DIAGNOSTIC TEST

LOCK THE PREDICTION BEFORE THE DECISIVE RECORD ENTERS THE CASE.

—

IF YOUR MODEL IS TRUE, WHAT SHOULD THIS RECORD SHOW? IF YOUR MODEL IS FALSE, WHAT SHOULD THIS RECORD SHOW? WHAT ALTERNATIVE MODEL COULD PRODUCE THE SAME RESULT?

Once locked, this prediction is append-only. You can later mark the outcome, but you cannot rewrite what you predicted before the evidence arrived.

SETTINGS / ACCESSIBILITY

MASTER AUDIOAmbient sound and identity tones. AUDIO CUE CAPTIONSShows equivalent text for meaningful environmental and sonic changes. DYNAMIC RANGENIGHT reduces peaks and raises low-level detail for small speakers or quiet rooms. REDUCED MOTIONDisables nonessential animation while preserving clue meaning. HIGH CONTRASTIncreases UI/text separation. Evidence classes remain text-labeled. SCREEN SHAKEOnly used for boss impact; never required for clues. REDUCED FLASHINGReplaces capture/exposure flashes with a low-contrast luminance shift. LARGE TEXTIncreases interface text without changing world scale or clue geometry. TEXT SCALEScales interface and document text without changing world coordinates. STRONG FOCUSUses a larger keyboard focus ring across all interactive surfaces. INTERACTION ASSISTWidens interaction magnetism without moving evidence or changing clue truth. TOUCH CONTROL SIDEChoose which thumb owns movement. STICK MODEFIXED keeps a consistent muscle-memory anchor. DYNAMIC centers the stick under your first touch inside the movement zone. CONTROL SCALEAdjust stick and action target size without changing clue geometry. CONTROL OPACITYLower visual obstruction while preserving hit areas. HAPTICSSubtle vibration for interaction, retain, and revision when supported. ONE-HANDED MODEMoves action closer to the movement thumb and increases interaction magnetism. CAMERA INTENSITYControls mobile follow strength. Reduced Motion still takes priority. QUALITYAUTO may reduce decorative particles, reflections, fog, and foreground density. It never removes evidence.

REAL-WORLD RECORD LAYER
Public and declassified records retain source attribution inside the game.

FICTION BOUNDARY
APORIA, The Curator, 0.0.0 metaphysics, and the final “GOD IS REAL.” reveal are fictional story elements. Public/declassified records shown earlier do not establish those claims.
