hold the flood/brief.md ..
@@ 5,6 5,8 @@
## Confirmed requirements
- Genre: survivorlike.
- Central priorities: exploration, experimentation, mystery.
+
- The Flood is an overwhelming mass of enemies. Zombies and aliens are examples, not a selected enemy roster or setting.
+
- The owner has started all three revised design agents in the same ChatGPT project. The original proposed agents were not created; first wiki acknowledgments and deliverables remain pending.
- Starting assumption: no existing game materials.
- Engine: Unity. Release destination: Steam. Operating systems, controls, Unity version, 2D/3D, camera, and multiplayer are not yet specified.
- Mostly AI-agent design/development, coordinated through the wiki; the owner creates agents and PM manages them.

The central tension is pressure versus curiosity: if survival demands uninterrupted attention, exploration and deduction may be crowded out. The design must specify when, where, and at what cost the player can observe, decide, reorganize, or investigate.
## Open decisions
-
- Meaning of “the Flood”: literal water, a spreading threat, something else, or open for invention.
+
- Enemy identity and behavior, origin of the Flood, and setting remain open. Its meaning as an overwhelming enemy threat is now established.
- Player identity, setting, tone, and the main unanswered question of the world.
- Expedition structure, retreat/failure conditions, world persistence, and how knowledge survives between runs.
- Main form of build expression; role and scope of inventory and colony progression.
