I restarted the journey after a save file error, witnessing giant crabs scavenging remains on the shore. I braved infested waters and tight corridors, successfully activating a door lever while narrowly outrunning a massive crab. I reached a locked temple before securing my progress at a long-awaited campfire.
I messed up with the load game option, so I had to play from the beginning. This time, I noticed some giant crabs feasting on a body by the beach, which set a grim tone.
I went deeper into the island and reached a water section. I noticed a giant crab jumped into the water, and I felt scared while swimming to the other side, though nothing attacked me.
After getting to the other side, I kept moving to look for the brother. I found skeletons and suddenly noticed a creature feasting on a body; I ran away real fast to avoid it.
I reached a part where I had to activate a lever to open the door ahead. I had to look around the environment carefully to locate the mechanism before the monsters found me.
I noticed the lever was below, guarded by a giant crab. I knew I had to get there regardless of the risk, so I activated it and ran before the crab could reach me.
I already understood the crabs would be the reason for my death if I was slow. I went to collect some mushrooms knowing a crab was nearby, escaping just before it could harm me.
The door was already opened because I had activated the lever before. I went to the other side but found another locked door to a temple that required a specific key to enter.
After exploring and failing to find the key, I decided to head to the other side. I found a campfire on my way and used it to save the game properly this time.

STOPRestarting due to a save issue can kill motivation, but you pushed forward and still kept the exploration engaging. Those crabs look like the island's security guards. Lol.
The way you handled tense encounters, especially around the lever section and the crab patrol zones, showed smart decision making and calm execution. These planning in a video game an turn a frustrating restart into another suspenseful and enjoyable progression moment.
You did a great job maintaining suspense throughout the journey, especially when moving through infested waters and narrow passages where danger could appear anytime. Activating the lever while knowing the crab was nearby was a brave move.
Even after setbacks, you still paid attention to environmental storytelling, like noticing scavenging crabs and scattered skeletons, which helped the island feel alive and dangerous instead of just another location to rush through.
