List of Essentials

The List of Essentials is the boat-prep checklist written by Bram and Mitchell before they leave Norman behind on the shipwreck island. The note is the counterpart to Norman's Diary Fragments: where Norman writes about cursed ruins and night terrors, Bram is matter-of-fact about supplies and ready to ditch his unstable crewmate.

In-Game Text

Nails: check.

Planks: check.

Rope: found.

Sail: patched up, more or less.

That's about it.

We've got all we need for the boat. Tomorrow, Bram and I will nail it together and get out of here. While Norman can stay here and die.

He sits around all day carving those cursed little charms. Witchy junk. Superstitious idiot. Completely cracked from fear of the ruins.

Woke up yesterday and the lunatic was standing over me with an axe.

Right. My axe. Forgot it. Where did that idiot take it?

Lore Context

Bram's casual line 'Norman can stay here and die' confirms Norman was abandoned, not lost. The 'cursed little charms' reference matches the protective charms Norman describes carving in his second Diary Fragment, the same charms Bram and Mitchell laughed at. The note ends with Bram noticing his missing axe, an open thread that the diary fragments do not resolve.
