Down the streets of woodland black I wander, earth to hearse In every tree I see a wave A looming tidal curse On the cusp of something greater Stood ankle-deep in floodwater Stagnant pools of brown and red The onslaught is coming; I dread For each dark night and each pearl day The mist does clear too soon The floodplain is drown’d again The water, torn from its ocean womb

There are no shortcuts. Rule 3. Warning signs and clues scattered throughout the levels to provide guidance, indicating possible dangers — Red drawings depict trap locations, velvet sketches warn of places to tread carefully, and black marks signal other looming threats. Symbols will indicate possible dangers — crosses mean fog, stars mean flashing lights and noises, withered roses mean pits and thorns, skulls mean poisonous gasses and darkness.
