The Map & Nodes
Your journey through the abyss is represented on a map of interconnected nodes. At the end of each stage, you must choose your next destination wisely.

Node Types
- Standard Combat: Encounters with enemy patrols. The main source of SP, perfect for testing your strategy.
- Elite Encounter: Battles against empowered versions of enemies. Much more dangerous, but offering higher-value rewards.
- Mystery Event (?): These nodes can hide anything from forgotten treasures to deadly traps or moral decisions.
- Sanctuary / Camp: Safe zones where you can heal persistent states or prepare before a major challenge.
- Final Boss: The ultimate puzzle at the end of the region. Defeating the Boss is the only way to successfully complete the map.
