+# VNGame — Iron Hollow PoC
+
+## Run
+Open in Ren'Py launcher → Run.
+
+## What to test
+1. Play straight through (no checkpoint) — see all 3 base branches.
+2. Create a checkpoint → pick "To find something worth doing" → **Rewind**.
+   Watch the teal wash and Luno's linger beat afterward.
+3. Explore 3+ branches, then the 4th unlocked option appears.
+
+## Missing assets (Ren'Py will warn but not crash)
+- `game/images/bg training_yard.png`
+- `game/images/sara neutral.png`, `sara pained.png`
+- `game/images/luno curious.png`, `luno amused.png`, `luno neutral.png`,
+  `luno soft.png`, `luno tilted.png`, `luno still.png`, `luno laugh.png`,
+  `luno sharp.png`, `luno linger.png`
+
+Any placeholder PNG renamed to match works fine for testing.
