Sensory System
Smelling
The player can distinguish between different smells, including prey and fresh meat, humans, and allies' blood.
A tiger’s acute sense of smell allows it to detect fresh scents within certain distances. If the tiger reaches a certain distance from its prey, traces of red smoke will appear, helping to navigate the player to the target.
Vision
The player has a night vision system, allowing them to see clearly in the dark.
Hearing
The player can hear sounds of prey and humans walking within a certain distance. As the sound source gets closer, the volume increases, and a sensory warning sign on the screen changes to indicate proximity.

Survival System
Stamina
Sprinting reduces the player's stamina. If the player sprints continuously for a certain period, the stamina will deplete to 0, preventing further sprinting until it recovers.
Hydration
The player must drink water regularly to maintain a healthy hydration level. Failure to do so will decrease health.
Health
Hunting: The player can restore health by hunting wild animals.
Traps: Getting caught in traps reduces health and immobilizes the player for a certain time.
Human Attacks: Human attacks significantly reduce health.

Trap & Enemy Behavior
If the player steps into a trap, it will snap shut, immobilizing the player and reducing their health. The player must press the E key multiple times to escape. If the player is trapped near the humans' camp, they will be noticed by the humans, making it difficult to escape from the pursuing enemies.
Enemies (humans) chase the player when the player is within their sight or hearing range. Once they get close enough, they shoot at the player, significantly reducing the player's health.

Human territory: The humans’ territory is marked by their tools, tents, and houses around the grassland areas.
