Does it have online co-op?
Optional ghost runners and shared relay-board messages provide a little shared presence. Combat, enemies, quests and progression remain local single-player systems.
Where is my progress stored?
Guest progress stays in this browser; clearing site storage can remove it. An optional free account adds cloud backup and continuation after signing in on another browser or device. If browser and account saves differ, choose which to keep. Local saving continues offline and after sign-out.
Can I play on my phone?
The supported public target is desktop browser. You can read the guide here and open the game on your computer.
What should I show in a video?
The current top-down 2D game, its opening route and Field Guide make a useful introduction. Mark boss spoilers and keep uncontrolled live relay-board messages out of recordings.
