Why these ten strings
Each row is a first-party token you will see in a store sentence, a DLC bullet, an achievement title, or the General Ward HUD. Dream Essence is how Deluxe/Field Kit lets you learn a Talent early. Talent is both a HUD tab and the “Obtain all Talents” achievement. Emergency Relief Crate is the collectible behind Behind Every Crate Man... excluding DLC. Mushroom Jack is the in-world broadcast for Mycophile. Codex is the tab beside Investigation. Refuge and Skiff are the survival-loop nouns. Dreamlands is the otherworld in the rescue sentence. The Chthonic Arsenal is the pre-order gun pack. Bucking Bronco is the Holloway Manor revolver.
The table does not localize those tokens into unofficial Chinese or Japanese fan spellings. HUD tab names stay INVESTIGATION / CODEX / MAP / INVENTORY / CRAFTING / TALENTS as printed on the official map still. For prices attached to Field Kit and Holloway, use Editions and Kits. For the loop that uses Refuge and Skiff, use Survive Arkham. Japanese storefronts may show シンキング シティ 2 beside the English title; that reading is an alias in the language evidence, not a tenth glossary row.
How to use the term table
Each row is a first-party token. Dream Essence is the Field Kit item that learns a Talent early. Talent is both a HUD tab and the “Obtain all Talents” achievement. Emergency Relief Crate is the collectible behind Behind Every Crate Man... excluding DLC. Mushroom Jack is the broadcast for Mycophile. Codex sits beside Investigation. Refuge is the brief fallback the store describes. Skiff is the second travel mode. Dreamlands is the otherworld in the rescue sentence. The Chthonic Arsenal is the pre-order gun pack. Bucking Bronco is the Holloway Manor revolver.
Do not treat this table as a stat block or as a fan translation sheet. The eight Investigate… case titles live on Optional Investigations, not here. The four official foe names live on Mythos Foes. If a community guide invents a different spelling for Dream Essence or Codex, prefer the Steam and HUD strings on this page.
