Important: Unique things to know for operations

This game uses Parallel Play 

• To enhance freedom and exploration, the game uses our new mechanic Parallel Play - allowing players to move ahead into new levels without waiting for their group.

• Portals
  Players advance through the experience using Portals, following the wayfinding path to locate them. Waypoints will still appear at specific moments to trigger events or interactions.

• Red Safety Avatars
  Because players may occupy the same physical space while exploring different virtual areas, anyone nearby in a different location will appear as a red safety avatar. This helps everyone stay aware of their surroundings and move safely around each other.

Catch-up Mechanics

• The game will adjust to give players 27 minutes of play time. Any time paused by the GM does not count and will extend the session time.

• The duration of encounters will be made shorter or longer depending on the pace that players are moving through the game.

• If players have not reached the boss by 24 minutes, they will be automatically teleported there. Along with a voice line to explain it. This will ensure they remain on time and don't miss out on this moment.
