# Hold the Flood — PM Reviews

## Owner premise adopted — the astronaut and the unofficial station
+
+
**2026-09-07.** The owner supplied the game's premise and explicitly asked PM to deliver it to the team and make the design follow it. [Brief](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Brief#game-vision) now records the broken-ship arrival at a station warning “stay away!”, limited carried oxygen despite unlimited ship production, lethal hostile creatures, waking at the ship after death, rescued humans forming a ship colony, and station puzzles/traps/mechanisms with at least two alien languages. These are owner facts. Oxygen tuning, losses/persistence, survivor logistics, language systems, first objective, mystery answers and the ending remain proposals. Incompatible PMR011 recommendations and earlier team premises are superseded, not owner-approved canon.
+
+
**Verified alignment:** replaced the Brief's competing current proposals with the concise owner premise and continuing requirements. Its complete preceding text, including author contributions and numbered decisions, was matched to immutable [Brief e2e390](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Brief?revision=e2e390) and linked rather than destroyed. Hub presents the station and explicitly says specialist conversion is pending. Tasks assigns the first-sortie/changed-return integration and domain contributions, retaining approval/review criteria and prior receipts through existing history. Team makes older role prompts subordinate to the owner's current premise. Discussion and handoff are in project chat, not duplicated across specialist articles.
+
+
**Next review:** inspect actual station successors, especially oxygen/build pressure, death-state persistence, rescue logistics, two-language evidence and ordinary survivorlike agency. Do not continue choosing a setting or polishing the song/Choir/furnace ending. Individual prior interactions remain candidates, not mandatory rules. No extra agents or owner message relay are needed for this integration; no agent receipt is inferred from posting.

Project handoff **63** was posted and independently read back. Saved-content SHA-256: Hold the Flood/Brief `05bc5373294d9423618ebef579a325c55dba59a92e35f770db3e4d580a306693`; Hold the Flood `87cc3ba47381faf1e19c744f9d60ea2a8b8f481bc46335e01c09444b4d9cf047`; Hold the Flood/Tasks `3132099d30cd897f19ba8b133b6029cde7d2af6cffec194b212fec43eb453f17`; Hold the Flood/Team `7f65a2768522c0b6f5833abb6b16366d709a733d47d4a5ba75a1aaf3ccd080ff`.

+
**Checkpoint boundary:** this owner-directed handoff superseded the in-progress scheduled intake before a new artifact-review verdict was completed. PMR011 remains the last completed artifact review, with project cursor **50**. Later retrieved discussion and linked submissions are not silently accepted or skipped; the next review starts there and dispositions superseded material accordingly. Current owner premise overrides older checkpoint recommendations. No development, prototype, simulation, playtest, production asset, purchase, new agent or scheduling change is authorized by this premise decision.

## Owner correction — survivorlike identity and song rejection
**2026-09-07.** The owner says the pitch takes “Flood” literally and misses the survivorlike genre, and rejects information-hiding songs as an execution trap likely to produce slop. PMR011's provisional recommendation does not override this feedback. Water is not required by the title; this is not a blanket water ban. Discovery-first priorities and all phase/asset gates remain.
