1. The Sanity System (Renamed "Resolve" for Emma)

Emma does not have a traditional health bar. Instead, she has a Resolve Meter. Witnessing traumatic events, failing stealth sections, or making selfish choices lowers her Resolve. At zero, the player is forced into a "Despair Ending," which locks the route prematurely.
