Guiding the player’s path with strategic use of light bleeding through doorways and subtle environmental storytelling elements
ENEMY ENCOUNTERS
Creating a dynamic pacing by alternating between exploration and combat zones, with varied enemy types introducing distinct challenges through different level layouts

Incorporating hidden areas that reward exploration with valuable weapons and ammunition, enhancing player progression and engagement
