Gameplay FAQ
Does the story continue after a resident dies?
Yes. Character death unlocks some stories, while survival can reveal different storylines; a death is not automatically a game over.
What is confirmed
The affected dialogue, evidence, relationships, and endings can vary by campaign. Outcome pages will document both branches rather than labeling one as the only correct playthrough.
Why this matters
These answers explain confirmed systems without inventing final balance values. Exact stamina costs, clock speed, crop tables, recipes, save slots, and route optimization require the retail build and may change with patches.
What remains outside this answer
Unpublished values, schedules, item names, routes, rewards, campaign identities, and platform behavior are not inferred. This page will add exact steps or tables only after an official update or repeatable test in the retail build provides a concrete answer.
Source and update policy
Current information is checked against the official Steam description. Older announcements and cached storefront data are not allowed to override a newer official status. Corrections retain the same canonical URL so search engines and players reach one maintained answer.
