+## Quality Notes

+- Weapon pickup/swap must be short and readable.

+- Embedded weapon pull needs a satisfying tug and enemy reaction.
+- Feet must not slide during attacks or dodges.

+# ArtBible: 夜番の砦
+
+Status: active visual direction.
+
+## Art Promise
+
+The screen must immediately read as:
+
+- a night kingdom
+- one hunter outside the walls
+- monsters on the road
+- weapons on racks, bodies, carts, and the ground
+- a huge beast fight that uses those weapons
+
+Darkness is the premise, not the palette. Avoid a flat gray image.
+
+## Palette
+
+- torch orange
+- moon blue
+- blood red
+- iron highlights
+- leather brown
+- forest green
+- wet black soil
+- fort-fire amber
+- old stone blue-gray only as a supporting color
+
+## Player
+
+The nightwatch fighter needs a practical heroic silhouette:
+
+- leather armor
+- cloth cloak
+- shoulder lantern
+- gloves, boots, belt, pouches
+- waist dagger
+- back weapon
+- visible weapon holders
+- readable silhouette for sword, spear, hammer, bow, torch, and shield
+
+The character should be cool and usable, not chosen-one ornate.
+
+## Weapons
+
+Each weapon type needs readable silhouettes and durability states:
+
+- fresh
+- normal
+- chipped
+- near-broken
+- broken
+
+Weapon models must be large enough to read during play. Near-broken weapons need
+visible cracks or loose bindings so the player understands why throwing them is
+valuable.
+
+## Wolf Forest
+
+First area visual kit:
+
+- moonlit tree trunks
+- dark green foliage
+- low ground mist
+- hunter shack
+- broken cart
+- fallen trees
+- stream crossing
+- torch stands
+- oil jars
+- weapon racks
+- animal bones
+- claw marks
+- warm fort light visible behind the start
+
+## Enemies
+
+- Small wolf: fast, lean, low silhouette.
+- Horned beast: clear horn and lowered charge posture.
+- Goblin: small weapon carrier; weapon must be visible.
+- Shield goblin: readable shield front and vulnerable back.
+
+## Garm
+
+`大狼ガルム` must be memorable in one screenshot:
+
+- huge wolf body
+- bright eyes
+- scarred hide
+- long tail for break target
+- readable legs for spear embed
+- head and jaw large enough for hammer stagger read
+- moon backlight and torch rim
+
+## Visual Rejects
+
+- gray forest with no warm light
+- default capsule player
+- weapons too small to identify
+- boss with no visible part targets
+- UI that looks like debug text
+- generic asset-store forest with no weapon-rack/combat staging

+# AudioBible: 夜番の砦
+
+Status: active audio direction.
+
+## Music Identity
+
+Dark, tense, and adventurous. Avoid slow ambient-only music. The player should
+feel that they are going out at night to hunt monsters, not walking through a
+static horror scene.
+
+Useful instruments:
+
+- strings
+- low drums
+- flute
+- horn
+- metal percussion
+- fire beds
+- fort warning horns
+
+## First Vertical Slice Music
+
+- title theme
+- Nightwatch Fort
+- Wolf Forest exploration
+- Wolf Forest combat layer
+- Garm boss theme
+- boss defeat
+- morning return
+
+## Player SFX
+
+- footsteps: dirt, wood, stone, shallow water
+- leather and cloak movement
+- weapon draw
+- pickup
+- drop
+- throw
+- embed
+- pull out
+- weapon chip
+- near-break warning
+- break
+- dodge
+- guard
+- parry
+- hit reactions
+- death
+
+## Weapon SFX
+
+- sword hit
+- spear thrust
+- spear embed
+- hammer slam
+- bow release
+- arrow impact
+- shield block
+- torch flame
+- torch hit
+
+## Enemy SFX
+
+- wolf growl
+- wolf leap
+- horned beast hoof/charge
+- goblin voice
+- shield scrape
+- Garm howl
+- Garm charge
+- Garm part break
+
+## Environment SFX
+
