Walk into a beacon of light to discover the town beneath it. Tall golden beacons are the 30 historic towns of the main quest; slim teal ones are roadside waypoint towns — bonus finds for the completionists. Green means already met. While you stand in a town, a Visit button waits at the bottom of the screen (or press V) — tap it to read the story, any time you pass through. Time flows on its own — or grab the sun with the slider. Open the map (M) and click anywhere to travel there instantly — or click a discovered town to reread its story (the Journal works too). The compass up top shows your heading. After dark, Bigfoot's headlamp switches on.
Wade out past your knees and Bigfoot boards his rowboat — Vancouver Island is a real crossing (wave at the Nanaimo ferry). And mind the grizzlies: they charge. Sprint away or roar (R) to scare them off; if your Vitality empties, the legend takes a nap and wakes at the last town discovered.
Tourists prowl the highway pullouts and famous viewpoints. When one raises a camera — autofocus beeps, red light blinking — get out of frame or out of range before the flash fires; every shot that catches you stings. A good roar sends them scattering too.
Hidden gems: twenty real BC wonders — giant waterfalls, world's-largest roadside things, one very familiar legend's homeland — twinkle gold somewhere out there, with no beacons to give them away. The Journal keeps a page of cryptic hints; found gems appear on the map.

Field Notes & Credits
Bigfoot's British Columbia is a strange little expedition by Overseed AI — one person, one very tall cryptid, and a whole real province baked from open data. Every mountain, highway, lake and town sits where it really is. No servers, no accounts, no tracking: just you, the map, and whatever's moving between the trees.
