Editorial Policy - Endacopia Guide Hub
Quick Answer
The site favors verified route steps over filler. When a detail is not personally captured or cross-checked, the page should label it as a public-source note or a verification task instead of presenting it as final.
Source Rules
- Official first. Steam store and Steam achievement pages are used for release, tags, and achievement facts.
- Route guides second. Community walkthroughs are used to cross-check puzzle and route details.
- Own screenshots preferred. Public media can guide layout, but final pages should use licensed or self-captured assets.
- No fake certainty. If a step is not verified, the page should say so directly.
Community Permission Record
When a guide author explicitly grants reuse permission, the site records the original page, author name, permission wording, and the pages/assets that use it. The current example is xixi's Endoscopia All Achievements guide, where the author says readers may use information or images from the guide. Reused material remains attributed, paraphrased where practical, and is not presented as official Endacopia media.
Spoiler Handling
Pages that target exact queries such as "Ending C not triggering" or "Saw Box code" give the answer immediately because the searcher is already asking for a spoiler. Broader pages use spoiler boxes and route warnings before late-game details.
