What to study

The exploration HUD teaches the game's deadline pressure before any combat starts: the top right mission banner counts down 06 days until The Day of Calamity, so the dungeon run reads as time spent against a calendar, not free wandering. The circular minimap carries a dotted route through Belega Corridor, the location name sits in large serif type at bottom left, and the bottom prompt row (Items, Auto Recovery, Skills, Memorandum, Travellers' Voices, Menu, Map) shows how much of the game is reachable without leaving the dungeon. The SQUAD marker over the protagonist hints at formation play even in real time exploration. Frame at about 47.0s in the Demo Trailer (Steam). No trailer burn-in visible on this frame.
