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.

Nine proposal 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, and the campaign scope comparison. [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.

Ten 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, and the language journal.

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.

[Campaign Scope Choices](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Campaign%20Scope%20Choices) completed review and response at 14:56. It compares 40 rooms with a denser 36-room alternative through named discoveries, build moments and recovery spaces. Five supporting references now agree on fourteen proposed mechanisms, while the historical cost allowance keeps its original thirteen-mechanism basis and leaves the added work uncosted. Neither scope nor a revised hour estimate is selected. Systems has finished this outcome.

## Ready to read: the language journal

The existing [Language And Journal](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Language%20And%20Journal) page has been rewritten around what the player does: capture a clue during an expedition, pause to compare records, make a prediction and try it. The revision preserves the current observation, testimony and historical-route rules while making the pleasure and cost of discovery easier to understand. The rewrite was submitted at 14:58. Its author has stopped edits while the separate reviewer checks the actual page and preservation of existing rules.

The revision preserves the current observation, testimony and historical-route rules while making the pleasure and cost of discovery easier to understand. The rewrite completed its independent critique and reasoned response at 15:06. No material correction was needed; its longer visitor and scan examples retain the reasoning behind those discoveries.

Systems is rewriting [Whole Game Outline](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Whole%20Game%20Outline) around the player’s journey from the first expedition through deeper investigation and optional secrets. The page will explain how fresh hordes, growing builds, useful discoveries and relationships develop together. Existing mechanics and unresolved creative choices must remain accurately represented. Its independent reviewer has prepared criteria and sources. Draft target 16:00 and reviewed target 17:00 today, with ranges on [Progress](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Progress).
One focused critique and one response belong to each bounded outcome. The outside-edit preservation audit is complete and its factual follow-ups are published; broader readability and design readiness remain open. States and estimates are on [Progress](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Progress).
