Why Tick Town matters
Official demo updates introduced Tick Town as the place where Zirian and his sister grew up, making it an early-world anchor rather than a random side zone.
Time Anchor progression
A released achievement explicitly references breaking Tick Town’s Time Anchor. Use the main walkthrough for progression context and this page for area-specific notes.
Return-later checklist
Because Duskfade adds traversal and exploration depth over time, note any visibly gated route in Tick Town and recheck it during cleanup rather than forcing it immediately.
Related routes
Tick Town connects naturally to the beginner route, overall walkthrough and Clock Tower thread. Keep those links together so area help does not become story-spoiler heavy.
Core game facts are limited to the official Steam store/demo and official Steam news; achievement-specific scope is based on released platform achievement metadata.
