+- *I ran `npm run start:dev` but it didn't seem to start anything*
+  - If the last message before your command was `lefthook something something post-merge`, your `run` command got eaten by the Lefthook monster, but running it again will work.
+- *I started the game but all text looks like code instead of actual sentences*
+  - You likely downloaded the code instead of cloning the repository, meaning that the localization submodule did not get included. Can you start again and clone the repository instead of downloading the code as a ZIP file?

 #### Linting
 
 We're using Biome as our common linter and formatter. It will run automatically during the pre-commit hook but if you would like to manually run it, use the `npm run biome` script. To view the complete rules, check out the [biome.jsonc](./biome.jsonc) file.
