What carries over unchanged
- The open-area structure — the studio has stated the game is not level-based, in the demo or the full game.
- The two-tool scanning loop: Artifact Finder and Anomaly Detector.
- Voice as danger: your real microphone still feeds the world. Budget time for the mic test and voice settings on launch day.
