This page is organized by player problem, not by menu order. New players should start with survival basics, then move into detection and threat pages once the first shifts feel predictable. Returning players can jump straight to the specific page that matches the failed part of their last run.
If you lost because a patient looked wrong, use the anomaly and patient roster pages. If you lost because the hospital got chaotic, use events, sanity, and solo routing. If you survived the early shifts but progression feels slow, use items, classes, tier list, and updates. Keeping those paths separate makes the wiki more useful than a single long walkthrough.
