各位进化者，欢迎来到新世界。这里没有财团，没有规则，也没有任何强制的目标，这里只有遍地的无主之物，莫名的怪物，以及……祂们。在这里，我谨代表制作组向各位玩家介绍部分信息，来帮助你们在这个世界活下去，以及，更好地活下去。

 

你是谁？

  或许记得，或许不记得，但是周遭的一切都在提醒你，这已不是你熟悉的那个世界，而现世如何，则需要你在探索和旅途中逐渐完善对现实的理解。一些老面孔的出现或许能让你觉得温暖，但隐于熟悉面孔下的，那些陌生的东西也许更令你悚然。

最重要的事？

  没有什么能比活下去更重要，即使你的身体机能远超普通人类，但是你仍需要及时补充食物和水分，饥饿、口渴，这些刻在基因中的危机并没有消失：路边的野果和池塘中的清水看似没有危险，但是污染早已不可预见地蔓延。除此之外，现实还有很多你尚不能理解的事物，面对未知，需要保持警惕：理智是你尚且为人的最后底线。受到不可名状的污染时，你的理智就会降低，大脑和身体也会在失控的边界游走，希望你能时刻保持清醒。

千万不要死！

  除了保证自己的身体健康，这个世界也处处充满危机，那些你在漫画和小说里看到过的生物，或许就会活生生的出现在你面前。他们可不是马戏团里跑出来的被训练好的生物，刚刚诞生的你可经不起狼群的追捕和棕熊的袭击，更何况，这些野生动物的威胁并不算致命，危险永远是未知的生物。当然，你并不是毫无反抗能力，武器、装备、各式工具，整个人类文明的结晶都可以为你所用。你需要面对的，远不止于此……

获取资源！

  欢迎来到无主之地！历经近乎毁灭性的异变后，世界食物链的上层似乎早已失去人类的位置，而作为新人类，你是否能在新的生态系统中站稳脚跟？人类对生存的欲望绝不仅仅是活着，人类的精神需要被满足：制作斧镐开采矿物、砍伐树木，使用辛苦获得的资源建造家园，摆放各式设施抵御外敌入侵；制作武器或是陷阱进行狩猎，清扫废墟，即使在战斗中死亡，这趟亡命之旅也远远没到终点，你可以选择重生的地点，重生后回到死亡的地点可以取回掉落的部分物资，继续上一场战斗；或是转头离开，保存实力，远离危险，这一切都由你自己选择。你的力量一步步壮大后，或许你就能发现异变的源头，亦或者是祂发现了你。

先做点什么？

  最先要做的就是把自己武装起来！你可以快速建立起一个营帐，在营帐里做一些小玩意儿，包括一把手工弩，一根棒球棍，以及简单的服饰，而炉灶的火焰也能为你清除部分曝露在荒野的食材所携带的污染；如果你觉得徒手收集资源太慢，可以选择在营帐里制作初级斧镐，他们可以帮你获取更多的资源。等到装备齐全，带上一万个心眼，开始探索这个世界吧！

 

Survival Guide

  Metas, welcome to the world of Once Human. This is a world where there are no more rules, no more unions, and no more multinational companies. This is a world of abandoned objects, strange monsters, and... them. I'm here representing the dev team to bring you some more insights into the world of Once Human.

 

Who Are You?

  Your mind seems to be playing tricks on you. You aren't sure whether your memories are real. But everything around you is a reminder that this is not the world you once knew. Learn more about this strange new world as you explore the landscape, and get to know its inhabitants. Expect some friendly faces, and terrifying hostile foes.

 

What's Your Task?

  Survival is task No. 1 in this world, your body is far stronger than that of a regular human, but basic needs like hunger and thirst remain etched into your genes. Without food and water, you won't last long. But remember to exercise caution. The wild fruits growing by the roadside and the clear lake water may seem harmless, but Stardust has infected this world beyond all imagining. In Once Human, the incomprehensible has become real. In the face of unknown threats, you need to remain vigilant. If you lose your sanity, you lose your humanity. When contaminated by Stardust, your sanity will become depleted. You will find yourself wandering right at the border of madness. Don't cross that line, if you can.

 

Don't Die!

  In addition to fulfilling your basic physical needs, you'll also need to figure out how to defend yourself in a world full of danger. Still believe monsters are the stuff of fiction? Get ready to think again.

  In this world, even the wild animals can pose a serious threat. You've only just been born, so stay clear of the wolves and bears for a while. And even once you learn how to handle them, there are other, far more serious threats in the form of those strange, unknown creatures that prowl the wasted landscape. The good news is, you are not completely defenseless. You can make use of a wide range of weapons, equipment, and tools, from a simple baseball bat to a high-tech firearm that employs the latest new-world technology. Arm yourself, and see what else lies in store.

 

Gather Resources!

  Welcome to no man's land! Humans have been knocked off their perch at the top of the food chain, and fearsome predators are around every corner. Are you able to carve out a role for yourself in this cruel new ecosystem? And can you do more than simply survive? Employ your ingenuity, and learn to thrive! Gather and mine for resources, and use them to craft all manner of useful tools. Use your hard-earned resources to build a home, and fortify it to defend it against hostile invaders. Make weapons or traps for hunting and clearing ruins. And if you die in battle, it's not the end. In Once Human, you can choose your respawn location. Will you go back, retrieve your dropped items, and continue the fight? Or turn tail and run, save your strength and bide your time? It's your choice. Get stronger, and work to discover the origin of the mutation that has ravaged this world. And do it quickly, before they discover you...

 

Where Should You Start?

  Make sure to arm yourself early on. Find a good spot, set up a camp, and make some basic tools, including a crossbow, baseball bat, and some basic clothing. Use the camp stove to cook ingredients that have been exposed to the toxins in the environment, and make your food safe to eat. Craft an axe or pickaxe to gather more resources, more quickly. Get yourself some basic provisions, and you're ready to go explore!
