The main reading path now begins with [The Game](/Hold%20The%20Flood/The%20Game), follows [three expeditions](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Expedition%20Proposal), returns to [the people aboard](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Coming%20Home), and opens into [discovery in the changing station](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Connecting%20The%20Station). [Hordes and Builds](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Hordes%20and%20Builds) explains the current examples; [Build Comparison](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Build%20Comparison) presents alternative controls and payoffs for owner reaction.

Nineteen proposal or editorial packages completed review and response today: builds/expeditions, hospital story/survival, regular growth on a renewed route, a second route state after permanent source seals, the six-page reading path, the moving-scan expedition, the short-rescue comparison, the station-completion payoff, the campaign scope comparison, the language journal, the whole-campaign overview, the cast and rescue map, the equipment guide, the Receiver Vault expedition, the enemy guide, the repeated upgrade-choice comparison, the former-patient scene, the first useful invention, and four hospital-room descriptions. [Combat Rules](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Combat%20Rules) and the room/encounter references describe the two concrete route states. They preserve completed work while giving fresh opposition a physical route. Other seal combinations and shifted layouts remain design work.

The new Ricochet and Gravity mechanisms remain proposed replacements for parts of the detailed build rules. The [hospital-story alternatives](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Hospital%20Story%20Directions) remain revisable. Completed review does not select them for the owner or establish fun, balance or duration.

Review, response and integration completed at **18:55**. The corrected descriptions preserve discovering a survivor before preparing the rescue, introduce Nadi through her ready-signal dispute, and clarify retained growth on a shorter return and lasting cap effects. Existing rooms, sources, mechanics, rescue variants and evidence remain. The small bedside-label proposal carries future writing and placement work; the wider hospital identity still needs development.

## Ready to read: the current decision guide

The new [Open Decisions](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Open%20Decisions) draft arrived at **19:05**. The author has stopped and its independent reviewer is checking that a clearer, shorter guide preserves real objections, owner choices and unselected alternatives. No game rule changes through this editorial pass. Reviewed guide target **20:00**, likely **19:30–21:00**.

[Open Decisions](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Open%20Decisions) completed review, response and integration at **19:23**. The guide now explains the remaining concerns through current examples and distinct alternatives. The original criticism is accounted for; review completion does not turn an example into proof that the criticism is solved. Stale reference questions were removed and the historical shift-comparison link restored. The conflicting proposed explanations for why the aliens abandoned the station remain open.

Two proposed personalities will respond to the same forced docking, horde breakthrough and optional conversation about Nadi. The comparison will make each person's wish, enjoyment, coping habit and friction with others concrete, alongside a cheaper mostly silent alternative. It preserves the player's actions, evidence and pleasure in making a powerful build. The character writer is working and a separate reviewer is preparing criteria before seeing the new alternatives. Draft target **20:30**, likely **20:15–21:00**; reviewed comparison **21:30**, likely **21:00–22:30**.
The owner has been offered three short existing experiences for reaction: horde climax, coming home and opening. That optional taste feedback can steer priorities while authorized work continues.
