Getting Started in The Carcass

## Before You Start
Try the free demo first -- it's confirmed to showcase the core typing-driven colony mechanics ahead of the full release.
Since every choice is confirmed to be permanently remembered by the game across runs, treat early decisions with real weight even on your first attempt -- this isn't a game where mistakes simply reset cleanly.
## Approaching the Nine Endings
Since 5 main endings plus 4 hidden ones are confirmed, and each demands a genuinely different strategy, don't expect to stumble into every ending naturally -- deliberate, varied playthroughs are confirmed as necessary for full exploration.
## Choosing Your Difficulty
With 5 confirmed difficulty levels from Merciful to Extinction, start lower than you might in other roguelikes if you're still learning the typing-driven core mechanics, since precision under pressure is confirmed to matter genuinely here.
## Common Mistakes
* Assuming permadeath means starting completely from scratch -- New Game Plus is confirmed to carry forward your victories and accumulated knowledge.
* Expecting every choice to have an immediately visible consequence -- the developers have directly acknowledged and fixed earlier issues where choice outcomes weren't clearly displayed, so pay attention to on-screen feedback.
