What to study

Nothing in this inventory is generic: every row names its object by the material it was made from, a bull shark leather sandal, a sea otter leather waterskin, a carambola wood carving knife, prepared blacktip reef shark spleen (five of them), because the simulation made each from a specific animal or tree. Worn items declare where they sit on the body in cyan (Left foot, Lower body, Upper body), the rope reed pouch lists its own contents as a sub-row (the sheep wool sock is inside it), and the header keeps the one number that disciplines the hoarding: Burden, 22 of 46. Each row grows its own set of verb icons (examine, drop, wear, stow, eat) according to what that object actually supports, so the table is less a grid than eleven small biographies with actions attached. Frame at about 1:01 in the Adventure Mode Launch Trailer (Steam), manually extracted at 60.5s: the scene-change pass emitted no frame for this panel.
