[WARNING - DISCUSSION OF GAME FILES - MAY BE A FUN KILLER]

I have spent quite a long time playing this game and it stopped being fun with no idea how to progress, so I started taking a look at some of the game files. Hopefully, the info below will help people look in the right direction, without cheating or removing their sense of achievement.

This is designed as a companion to this guide, by 0FarFromFamous0.

I discovered the list of objectives, and decided to map them to the items in the guide in the same format.

These do not always match the names of the events they are garnered from, but they do tell us two things:

• That there are no intentional blank lines in the journal
  
• The internal names used for all the entries

The list below shows the key sections from the journal, but with the internal objective names included. 'TBC' where we haven't confirmed a missing entry, then 'X)' for objectives that haven't been discovered (most match up). I used 'N)' for the beaver one that triggers but is not in the journal.

Looking at the names of some of them, there is a possibility some are not triggering correctly (OBJ_CAMPEATRAWMEAT, for instance). The porcupine one makes me concerned a fresh run with Gale is required (and potentially others). I haven't finished nosying around, but I thought this might be useful if people want to try getting a moose to lick them or something.

This is the full map the game uses for navigation. 'Gee' will take you to the down-right diagonal from your starting position, 'Haw' will take you up-right. Some events only appear based on the terrain type.

If anyone figures out what 'o' is, please add a comment. The upper case letters are from the game files, but I am not clear on their significance yet (it may be that it signifies tiles where certain rarer evens can occur).

There are three play styles:

• Balanced
  
• Conquerer
  
• Fatalist

They appear to be numerically scored on an individual basis, so based on decisions made against events, points will presumably be added, resulting in an overall style for the run.

It seems that the occurence of some things in the game are based on being in certain play style (some events may play out differently).
