What to Expect
Expect a campaign‑based, narrative survival‑horror experience where players make irreversible choices across interconnected scenarios. Survivors hide in an outpost and face Intruders, personal agendas and character customization shape the story. The campaign structure and paragraph‑style narrative choices define progression.
Who Is This Game For?
Aimed at hobby players and campaign fans (ages 14+), playable solo up to 5 players with about 180 minutes per session. Prior experience with narrative or cooperative campaign games is useful due to legacy consequences and scenario complexity.
