What to study

Inside the Cyclops, the bridge is a room of instruments rather than a screen: a circular holographic status display glows on the right wall ringed with its own buttons, a touchscreen desk angles beneath it, a second panel further right pairs round gauges with a graph readout, and ahead the helm projects its chart as a cone of blue light into the dark viewport. Each station is a separate physical display with its own shape of information, ring, slab, dial, graph, so where you stand in the room decides what you know about the boat. Frame at about 1:20 in the Gameplay Trailer (Steam), manually extracted at 80.0s: the scene-change pass emitted no frame for this interior.
