01 / Scope

What the beta contains

The beta is bounded enough to treat as one opening route. The Prologue provides the starting sequence, the first explorable region establishes the compact-world structure, and Tiel supplies the first named Shell objective in the current public material. Beacon cleansing keeps the main route legible while exploration opens optional branches.

Roughly three hours is a scope description, not a guaranteed completion time. A player who investigates optional dungeons or searches for hidden mini-bosses may spend longer, while a repeat run may be shorter. The page does not convert the estimate into a speedrun benchmark or a content-completeness percentage.

02 / Objectives

A named route with optional branches

The supported sequence gives the walkthrough a dependable spine: Prologue, Tiel, beacons, Marrow Keep, and Magdalena. Optional dungeons and hidden mini-bosses sit around that spine. The wiki can therefore explain which objective advances the beta without inventing a map, exact branch order, room count, or item route.

This structure matches the sequel’s broader description as a compact, interconnected world. A route can be clear without being linear, and a player can return to the named objective after exploring a branch. The beta page describes that relationship; the walkthrough turns the same facts into a reading order.

03 / Carry-over

What carries into launch

Beta participation can unlock the Flayed Harbinger cosmetic and a Prologue skip option. These are the two supported carry-over benefits in the supplied beta material. They should not be expanded into a list of unannounced cosmetics, account rewards, or platform-specific bonuses.

General progress resets for launch. That means the beta is best used to learn the opening, possession, combat pressure, and exploration rhythm rather than to accumulate a permanent campaign save. The reset also keeps the launch walkthrough separate from the beta folio once the full game is available.
