Sources and how we check facts
Every guide links the pages it used. This index is the method, plus the documents that show up on more than one guide. A status of “2 sources” means two of these were independent of each other. A studio page and that studio’s own FAQ count as one organization, and its Steam announcement or press release still has that same origin. Store/API mirrors are not independent reporting.
What outranks what
- The current store listing, for price, platform, and review totals.
- The studio’s own page, handbook, or patch post, for how the game works.
- A second video or a written guide, for a crafting count the studio never printed.
- An encyclopedia, only for background such as the film or the distress call, and only labeled as one source when it is alone.

Individual guides repeat the exact URL. If a link rots, the sentence it supported gets re-checked or removed. We do not keep a claim whose only source has gone.
Questions people ask
| Why do language counts disagree? Because the store list and the launch note disagree. Both stay on the page. |
| Why is there no code list? No public code table exists for these games. A retailer key is not a redeem code. |
