Guide Notes
For English players, explain the world as a playable occult investigation setting first, then link deeper novel concepts only when needed.
Use spoiler-light labels for early city descriptions and stronger warnings before late-lore entities or organizations.
Connect world pages to practical game pages: locations, contamination, Pathways, and official sources.
