Phase 1: Ship Evacuation
Prioritize: Fishing Rod, Bait, Flare Gun, Anchor, Duct Tape. Food is secondary — you can fish later. Choose ONE crew member.
Phase 2: Days 1–3
Fish daily (Bait + Rod). Eat. Repair if damaged. Chat with shipmate for morale. v1.1.3: Bait only consumed on catch. Duct Tape repair is optional.
Phase 3: Days 4–10
Save Flare Gun and Flashlight for Hope events. Keep Anchor for Giant Squid/Whirlpool. Duct Tape for Eerie Melody/Leak. Track food supply closely.
Phase 4: Late Game / Rescue
Use Flare Gun during Hope events to signal. Flashlight as backup. If pursuing True Ending, investigate Heart of the Sea + Giant Squid.
