A measured first-hour route
The demo is short enough that rushing can hide its most useful lesson: Rivage rewards information that survives a loop. Use the first hour to understand the station rather than to optimise an unverified speed route.
Suggested order
- Read the opening premise and identify Miranda's immediate problem.
- Survey accessible rooms without changing every control.
- Mark logs, locked routes, and inactive machinery.
- Test one environmental relationship at a time.
- After a reset, check what K9 retained and choose one new objective.
End-of-run notes
Record what was observed, what was proved, and what remains a hypothesis. That distinction prevents a dramatic message or visual cue from becoming a false solution. Exact room directions belong in a versioned walkthrough after they have been reproduced.
