strength -= 5; }` + - Different NPC dialogues: "You're looking older, friend..." vs "Young traveler..." + +2. **Intro Sequence:** + - Create new `IntroScene.js` in `/src/scenes/` + - Load all 20 intro shots in `preload()` + - Implement phase system with `time.delayedCall()` timing + - Add blur/glitch PostFX pipelines + - Integrate DynamicTypewriterSystem for text overlays + - Skip handler: `input.keyboard.on('keydown-X', () => scene.start('GameScene'))` + +3. **Ghost Quest:** + - Trigger check: `if (anaRescued && !ghostQuestComplete)` + - Ghost sprites: Use ghost references, apply 50% alpha in code + - Movement: Ghosts float toward `deathLocation` coordinates + - Player follows, proximity check triggers lore reveals + - Quest completion: Play final memory cutscene, unlock achievement + +4. **Memory vs Reality:** + - Flashback scenes: Use original purple Ana sprite + - Present game: Use twin Ana sprites with RED EYES + - Recognition scene: Crossfade between both versions with particle effect + - Dialogue trigger: Ana does specific gesture โ†’ Kai: "That move... only she does that!" + +--- + +### **CREATOR NOTES:** + +**David's Reflection on 21-Hour Marathon:** + +> "This was the longest single session I've ever done. 21+ hours straight, generating 29 images and writing 2,000+ lines of documentation. Why? Because this intro and aging system are the HEART of the game. +> +> The 'Memory vs Reality' concept for Ana is personal - it's about how trauma distorts memory, how people change but core identity remains. The RED EYES family DNA is visual storytelling at its best - you don't need dialogue to show Kai's connection to his parents. +> +> And the aging system... man, this is important. Kai searches for DECADES. Most games would just time-skip and ignore it. Not here. We SHOW the years. We show grey dreads at 50+. We show a punk grandpa who NEVER removed his piercings. Because that's the message: **'System no change me!'** +> +> The intro is designed to make players CRY in 60 seconds.
