Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How do I increase my weapon count during a run?
A: You can increase your weapon limit through specific items like the Knight Pendant, which allows you to start with Knight Rog weapons regardless of your chosen avatar. Certain character evolutions, like the Bolt-Action Rifle, may remove base weapons from your card pool, so plan your upgrades carefully.

Q: How does the saving system work?

Q: Are there accessibility features?
A: Yes, the game includes several accessibility options, such as Clear Text, Adjustable Difficulty, and the ability to turn off intense camera movements to prevent visual discomfort.
