spoiler modes

Four-level spoiler-safe framework

The site is spoiler-safe by default. Route facts stay generic until verified and intentionally shown at the right spoiler level.

Blind First Run

Explore before confirming objectives; route-specific details stay hidden.

Use this for setup, broad mechanics, and verification status only.

Nudge Mode

This page can flag that a decision may matter without naming the outcome.

Useful when you want non-specific warnings without route consequences.

Route Mode

Exact route choices appear only after verification.

Use this for reproduced route steps once chapter and scene context is proven.

Full Spoiler Mode

Full consequences remain locked until verified and intentionally spoiler-gated.

Death, ending, hidden-path, and recovery specifics require explicit spoiler context.
