This hand-holding approach undermines the very premise of strategic choice, turning a potential sandbox into a guided tour. The game is structured as a "beat 'em

A constant timer and draining health system add pressure. If Ben’s health depletes, he reverts to human form, where a single hit results in death during running sequences.
