Game imagery
Manzanita Interactive supplies the domestic-room, camping, exploration and terminal screenshots through its official Press Kit for press coverage. We use locally optimized copies to illustrate this independent, advertising-free demo guide. They are representative scenes, not verified current sleep controls, a first-bed route or crafting cards.
Optional video
The same press kit identifies its official reveal trailer and explicitly marks sampling and linking as allowed. Our page now offers the October 8 public-demo launch trailer from The Triple-i Initiative and Neyreyan’s October 12 demo session through their original YouTube players, on request. The older reveal trailer is retained as historical media evidence, not as the current homepage video. Official press-kit posters are representative scenes rather than frames captured from either video. Gameplay opinions and auto-caption leads are not proof of unverified controls, recipes or an infection cure. The numbered decision outlines are original editorial diagrams.
