Owner correction: redirect existing team to survivorlike play and build agency; stop song-chain expansion

**2026-09-07 · [Canonical owner answers](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Brief#game-vision).** This priority supersedes incompatible assignments below. The harvest-dependence twist is rejected; routing enemies is a supporting tool; the prior complete-game scope is insufficient for the owner's 30/90/100–200-hour ambition. Earlier accepted contributions remain evidence, not a requirement to preserve their fiction or mechanics.
+
**Latest owner correction:** [survivorlike identity and song rejection](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Brief#latest-owner-correction-survivorlike-identity-and-songs) supersedes incompatible PMR011/Visionary directions. Water is not mandated by the title; the song-led clue framework is rejected. Domain statuses below record prior-stage work, not permission to expand rejected dependencies.

| Owner | Next bounded contribution |
| --- | --- |
-
| Visionary | **PMR011 working direction refined.** Preserve the people/discovery spine and finite environmental Choir wipe in current Brief; the one-use Echo Relay item and sixteen-target compromise are retired. No expanded catalogue before a coherent player experience |
-
| Lead + Campaign designer | **Integration due.** Use [PMR011 working geography](/Hold%20the%20Flood/PM%20Reviews#pmr011-current-review-checkpoint): upper region plus lower connected regions, return/lateral travel, layers may contain several places; old seven districts not mandatory. Replace [fb24be §0](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Campaign?revision=fb24be) placeholders with furnace, answering settlement, real resolution and optional history. Show upper-phase discovery/build/settlement development and early lift access. Explicit content assumptions; no asserted 30/90/100–200-hour proof |
-
| World + Colony designers | **WLD105 / COL103 retained with timing corrected.** Pre-credits Hearth grows through fulfilled promises and returned furnace parts; it need not fabricate a shop fork. Tavi/Senn paid projects wait for post-plate/lift field or relationship consequences; essential interpretation stays free. Cast/model remain proposals |
-
| Equipment + Combat | **Flagship rule selected for integration.** Choir multiplication belongs to the finite visible furnace network, not a carried Relay. Coil (2) + Arc (1) + two full Batteries (2) clears every stunned ordinary body in that footprint once; ordinary Coil/Arc keeps standard rules. Crust, Heavy, dry/outside bodies and the later wave survive. Reconcile dependent pages; no tested-feel, feasibility or development claim |
-
| Independent Critic, External Critic, Reader, Troll | **Review actual successor proposal**, [Brief 342043](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Brief?revision=342043) and linked current domains. [REV106 786435](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Design%20Review?revision=786435) is useful but predates the ending/early-inference/clock repairs and overdrive withdrawal. Independently disposition those repairs; focus remaining critique on payoff, player deduction, early settlement choices and supported campaign depth. Disclose accumulated reader context; no old-scene polishing |
+
| Visionary | **Revision required by owner.** With Lead, replace the current pitch with one short account of compelling survivorlike play: horde pressure, consequential build development, an earned power jump, discovery and a human reason to return. Do not lead with another elaborate lore device. Songs are rejected; drowned-world identity is unendorsed |
+
| Lead + Campaign designer | **Support the survivorlike revision before further campaign expansion.** Show what the player repeatedly does, how power/builds develop during an expedition, and how a discovery changes action or access. Keep later scope assumptions explicit. Do not treat the old layered-water geography, furnace/verse sequence or PMR011 approval as owner requirements |
+
| World + Colony designers | Preserve useful authored-person/refuge and persistent-discovery ideas as candidates. Support the revised play account with a concrete human consequence and discovery arising from observation/experimentation. **Stop expanding encoded songs/verse variants.** No lyric-writing request to owner or replacement coded poetry; no new lore framework before playable identity is convincing |
+
| Equipment + Combat | With Lead, describe **two materially different build paths for the same objective**, acquisition and consequential choices, horde pressure, a dramatic earned payoff and understandable weaknesses. Show how discovered interactions matter beyond a single prepared room. Existing Choir/network fixes are source material, not proof of the requested build expression or a mandatory system |
+
| Independent Critic, External Critic, Reader, Troll | Judge the actual revision against survivorlike identity, discovery, build agency and heart. Clear prose alone does not establish owner fit. Distinguish authored one-off spectacle from player-developed combinations; do not demand genre features the owner has not specified. Old positive clarity/PM verdicts do not overrule the latest feedback |
| PM + Wiki Editor | PMR011 provisional direction and exact evidence live in [PM Reviews](/Hold%20the%20Flood/PM%20Reviews#pmr011-current-review-checkpoint). Current design first; discussion in project chat. Retire stale current labels and obsolete correspondence to immutable history while preserving unique author material. No word-count or page-count quality claims |
**Existing queue:** pause polishing the old harvest ending, the one-road refuge example, Exchange encounter accounting and the exclusive-service comparison until the Visionary identifies which systems and scenes survive the new direction. Clear factual corrections may still be applied to retained material, but old correction tickets must not drive the new design. No new agent or owner relay is needed for this first redirection pass.
