Sources, review & corrections

Tenebris Somnia Guide editorial policy

See how Tenebris Somnia Guide checks sources, separates demo and full-game help, handles spoilers and corrections, and keeps unverified solutions unpublished.

Our aim is to give a player a usable answer with enough context to judge whether it applies to their game. Pages are published under the Tenebris Somnia Guide editorial desk byline. That byline identifies this independent website; it does not imply an official relationship with the game's creators.

Sources have different jobs

Developer, publisher and official store pages establish facts such as the game's identity, supported platforms and published release information. Steam achievement listings support achievement names and descriptions. A short achievement description alone does not establish a complete unlock route.

For gameplay steps, we cite the walkthrough, guide or other evidence used to support the instructions. We compare evidence where available, keep the relevant game scope visible, and avoid filling a missing step with a guess. A reported search term helps us understand a question; it is not evidence for a puzzle answer.

Sources are linked on the relevant guide. Screenshots are identified by their source and game scope where used. Promotional artwork illustrates the game; it is not evidence of an item location or a puzzle solution. We do not use generated images as if they were game screenshots.

What gets published

A solution page needs a supported core answer and the practical information required to use it: its location, prerequisites, steps, expected result and relevant limitations. An unverified route or conflicting core answer stays unpublished until it can be resolved.

An overview can cover a narrower set of confirmed facts while identifying what it does not cover. We do not create a separate guide merely to repeat another page, and we do not label a list of topics as a complete walkthrough. Demo and full-game instructions are kept separate; when an exact build number is unavailable, we say so instead of inventing one.

The achievement tracker is a checklist based on the published achievement list. Its short descriptions are not a claim that every unlock condition has been independently playtested.

Review dates and experience claims

A source check means the cited material was reviewed for the facts stated. It does not mean we personally completed that game route. We do not claim a personal playtest, completion time, first-hand review or result without evidence for that claim.

AI tools assist with research organization, drafting and consistency checks. That assistance is separate from the linked evidence: a generated suggestion is not proof of a game mechanic, and it does not establish personal gameplay experience. Supported facts and coverage limits determine what is published.

The visible source-check date records when the evidence was reviewed. A page's updated date changes when its content or guidance changes substantively, rather than automatically advancing each day. Release information or mechanics can change after a check, so the date and version scope matter.

Spoilers stay behind an explicit choice

Puzzle help moves from context to hints and then an answer where that structure is useful. Major ending conditions, story revelations and hidden achievement details use expandable spoiler sections. Named ending guide titles and the overview identify their subjects. Native expandable sections remain usable without JavaScript.

We avoid revealing major endings in page descriptions, navigation labels and search snippets. Some subject matter necessarily signals that a puzzle, item or ending exists; read a page's spoiler notice before expanding its details.

Corrections and conflicts

Email hello@tenebrissomniaguide.com with the page URL, the affected step, whether you are using the demo or full game, your platform/build if known, and evidence of the different result. See the contact page for the details that help most.

We assess a correction against the relevant sources and version. A conflicting or unsupported core answer can be corrected, narrowed or removed while the issue is reviewed. We do not publish private messages or personal details merely because they were sent as feedback.

Independence and commercial content

This version contains no advertising or affiliate links. Readiness checks do not constitute advertising or an endorsement by an ad platform. If a future page includes a paid or affiliate relationship, it should be disclosed with that content and reflected in the relevant site policies.
