Weather forecast system
Previously, the weather forecast was permanently displayed in the top-left corner of the screen. It was convenient… but a bit too easy. No surprises. Now, to forecast the weather, you need to stand still for a short moment and observe the sky in different directions.
Easy mode: forecast up to 4 hours
Normal mode: up to 3 hours
Hardcore mode: up to 2 hours
Always carry everything you need to start an emergency fire. Even more so now, as storms attract special Tengus.
Storm Tengus
You already know the Tengus. You hear their distant cries and instinctively prepare bait, just in case you are being tracked. But now, some of them appear specifically during snowstorms. Fortunately, they are afraid of campfires, and to a lesser extent, hand torches. You know what to do.
