Primary inputs are official Steam storefront records, developer announcements and patch notes, the official multiplayer demo listing, and Steam’s public achievement registry. Community gameplay claims are attributed on the page that uses them and remain limited to the shared scope of the references.

- Repository activity is not treated as game-data freshness; each fact carries its own review date.
- Official storefront and developer announcements are preferred for release, platform, capacity, and commerce claims.
- Public videos need a full-context review and timestamp before supporting a player-facing mechanic.
- Unknown or conflicting fields stay unknown. They are not converted to “no,” zero, or an inferred recommendation.
- Corrections and rights requests: support@shiftatmidnight.co.
How a page moves from research to publication
The publisher first defines the exact player question and the release or platform scope. It then records the strongest available source, checks that every visible claim stays within that source, and separates sourced facts from editorial guidance. A review date means the page was checked on that date; it does not promise that a patch-sensitive fact can never change.
Official storefronts, developer announcements, patch notes, and public registries are preferred for release, platform, capacity, update, and achievement claims. Community references may support encounter-specific gameplay details only when their title, destination, review date, scope, and limitations are disclosed on the relevant page.
- Official claim: supported directly by a rights-holder, storefront, or developer record.
- Cross-checked community claim: supported by at least two reviewable references and limited to their shared scope.
- Editorial guidance: an organizational or decision-making recommendation, not a claim about a hidden mechanic.
- Unknown: evidence is absent, conflicting, inaccessible, or too weak for a player instruction.
Review, images, and corrections
Patch-sensitive pages are rechecked when a relevant official update appears. If sources conflict, the conflict remains visible or the claim is withheld. Screenshots and annotated images are used to show the page’s task and are captioned rather than treated as evidence for details they do not display.
A confirmed material error is corrected in the page copy, its review date is updated, and a dated correction note is added when the change affects the player answer. Typographical and presentation-only fixes may be made without a separate correction entry.
