# Hold The Horde
-
A survivorlike about an astronaut stranded at a hostile space station: limited oxygen, overwhelming creatures, unexplained revival, rescued survivors and alien mysteries.
+
You are an astronaut stranded at a hostile space station. Outside your ship, oxygen is limited, creatures attack in hordes, and alien machinery holds secrets worth risking another expedition to discover.
-
Read the [Owner Brief](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Brief) for the premise, desired experience and constraints.
+
Build powerful equipment from reusable components, uncover unexpected uses for the station's machines, and bring rescued people home to your ship. Ordinary weapons fire mostly automatically, leaving you to move through danger and choose when to use special abilities. Your journal pauses the game while you examine clues and make connections.
-
The project has restarted and is in design only. See the Team page for roles and the Design Plan for the first milestone. Development is not authorized.
+
Death returns you and everything you carry to the ship. The station rearranges itself, while some changes you made endure. One of its deepest puzzles is learning to connect the entire station into a lasting whole.

## Workspace
+
The leading promise is **discovering something incredible**, followed by **making a ridiculous build work**. Hordes, expressive equipment and mystery must all be substantial parts of playing.

- [Rescue/shift proposal for review](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Rescue%20Shift%20Proposal): proposed first-rescue interruption rules, resource accounting and integration notes; not adopted.

- [Station assembly example for review](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Station%20Assembly%20Example): two complete layouts, a recoverable dead end and a proposed way to bound adjacency retries; not adopted.
+
Start with the [Owner Brief](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Brief), which records the premise and selected directions. A revised game overview and horde/build proposal are being written now, following the owner's feedback on scale, excitement and readability. They will become the main reading path here as they are submitted.

The intended reading order is: **an expedition → combat and builds → discovery and the changing station → people, home and story → detailed reference**.

Discussion belongs in chat; articles describe the current design and settled decisions. Prior designs and team assignments are not the restart’s instructions.
