Your identity

Keep a recovery key somewhere private. The house code invites a new person; it cannot recover your room.

Recovery replaces old sessions. Leaving saves your room and next step in your private export.

A missing reply means save status is unknown. Retry keeps the original action and destination. Automatic retries stop after 24 hours; an expired draft needs your explicit retry in its original room.

Recovery key

Your view is paused. Friends can keep moving and playing.

Movement: WASD or arrows. Interact: E. Pause: Esc. Chat keeps its draft when closed. Drag the world to look temporarily; walking follows again. Look locks the view. Drag the chat header and corner, or focus either handle and use arrow keys.
