❤ Tactical RTS Gameplay

The game offers a top-down, tactical real-time strategy experience. Players assemble and manage a strike team to survive a Lovecraftian apocalypse, blending elements of RTS, survival, and RPG genres. During missions, you control a squad of up to six customizable characters, navigating hostile environments, scavenging for resources, and fending off waves of mutating enemies. The combat system requires careful tactical positioning and equipment management, as melee-focused characters monitor stamina and armor, while ranged units ration limited ammunition.

❤ Survival Management

Beyond tactical combat, the gameplay revolves around survival management. Players oversee a military convoy, consisting of multiple vehicles and dozens of characters, assigning them to roles like production, research, and medicine. Balancing resources like food, fuel, and supplies is crucial, as poor management can lead to the convoy's downfall. The passage of time is a constant threat, as the enemy continually grows stronger and mutates, forcing players to act quickly to gather resources, upgrade equipment, and secure their position.

❤ Character Progression and Customization

The game offers deep character customization and progression. You can equip squad members with a variety of weapons, armor, and attachments, each with their own stats and effects. Characters can also train in different roles, such as combat, scavenging, or research, further enhancing their capabilities. The permadeath system adds tension, as losing a valuable squad member can severely impact your strategy and resources, encouraging careful decision-making and team management.

❤ Branching Narrative and Choices

Underpinning the gameplay is a branching narrative that presents meaningful choices, significantly impacting the outcome of your playthrough. From deciding the equipment and roles of your squad members to choosing the path of the convoy, each decision carries weight and can lead to different events, challenges, and ultimately, multiple endings. This narrative-driven approach, combined with the tactical and survival-focused gameplay, creates a compelling and immersive experience that challenges players to balance resources, manage their team, and make difficult choices in the face of an unrelenting Lovecraftian threat.
