Quick Take

Season 1

Water management and Spring upgrades drive your map freedom, so movement planning matters early.

Season 2

Furnace management and permanent decoration value create a much stronger shop-planning puzzle.

Season 3

The Light Tower and cursed fog make progression feel more gated, so priority order matters even more.
