Survival is more
than a destination.
Stretch the supplies. Read the route. Answer a signal in the dark. There may be no good order, but the next one is yours to give.
Choose what you can save.
Authored encounters and recurring characters make each retreat a different story. Your decisions carry forward into later chapters and endings.
Remember their names.
The manifest, Command Journal and Memorial keep the people behind your orders in view. An ending is also a record of how you got there.
