Savior Schnapps
The game auto-saves during key story moments, when you sleep, or when you exit. For manual saves, you'll need Savior Schnapps, a rare alcoholic drink. Purchase it from merchants if you have the funds, or brew it yourself using alchemy. Remember, consuming it can increase Henry's intoxication, so use it wisely.

Personal Chest
Your personal chest, found in rented tavern rooms or other sleeping locations, syncs across all your chests. Use it to store heavy or unnecessary items. Stolen goods placed here will lose their stolen status after 3 to 12 days, depending on their value.

Appearance Matters
Your appearance significantly impacts how NPCs interact with you. Keep Henry clean and well-dressed to be treated better. Use basins or bathhouses to wash off dirt and blood, and repair or buy new clothes to boost your stats and social standing. Different outfits suit different situations, so use the preset option in your inventory to switch quickly.

Monitor Your Stamina
Stamina is crucial in combat. When it depletes, your screen grays out, signaling exhaustion. Retreat to recover, as you can't block attacks without stamina, and taking hits reduces your maximum stamina. Avoid overeating, as it also lowers your stamina cap.

Alchemy and Blacksmithing
Mastering alchemy lets you craft essential potions like Savior Schnapps and boosts Henry's Strength through herb gathering. As a blacksmith, you can forge weapons and horseshoes, and remember to sharpen your weapons to prevent degradation. Crafting the best items and selling them can be lucrative.
