spoiler modes
Four-level spoiler-safe framework
The site is spoiler-safe by default. Route facts stay generic until verified and intentionally shown at the right spoiler level.
Blind First Run
Explore before confirming objectives; route-specific details stay hidden.
Use this for setup, broad mechanics, and verification status only.
Nudge Mode
This page can flag that a decision may matter without naming the outcome.
Useful when you want non-specific warnings without route consequences.
Route Mode
Exact route choices appear only after verification.
Use this for reproduced route steps once chapter and scene context is proven.
Full Spoiler Mode
Full consequences remain locked until verified and intentionally spoiler-gated.
Death, ending, hidden-path, and recovery specifics require explicit spoiler context.
assumptions
Use these assumptions before route facts are verified
Route basis
New game route
The first verified all-survivor route should start from a clean route state.
Full route details
Pending verification
Exact survival conditions, fatal choices, and route locks are not published until reproduced.
Spoiler mode
Use spoiler controls
Stay spoiler-safe for first-run prep; switch to full spoilers only when verified steps are available.
Survival conditions
Require verification
No guessed deaths, exact locks, or ending requirements are treated as confirmed.
route state framework
Safe state, danger state, failed state
Safe state
No verified route danger attached yet
Use for scenes where a crew member remains viable for Save Everyone after testing.
Danger state
Potential route risk pending proof
Use when a choice, QTE, stealth result, or relationship state may threaten survival.
Failed state
Not published until verified
A failed Save Everyone state requires reproduced evidence and a recovery note.
Recovery state
Unknown until route test
Turning Points may help repair a branch, but exact repair rules remain pending.
route recovery
If you already made a bad choice
Do not assume the run is lost. Check choices, Turning Points, route recovery, deaths, endings, and completion planning once verified data exists.
