📋 Gameplay Loop

Act 1 — Escape

1. Wake Up — Cinematic camera rise from the floor. First objective: exit the house from the main gate.
2. Find the Axe — Located in the outside storeroom. Your only tool and your first weapon.
3. Gather Wood — Chop 10 trees in the forest. Each drops 1 log. Watch your back.
4. Trade with the Survivor — Give 10 logs to the NPC in exchange for a Gun. It auto-equips.
5. Clear the Horde — Kill 10 zombies. The 10th drops a Key.

Act 2 — Ascend

6. Reach the Fire Tower — Use the Key to unlock the tower door.
7. Enter the Portal — At the top of the tower, a portal waits. Step through.

Act 3 — Confrontation

8. Fight Subject Alpha — The boss arena. Fog lifts. Spawning stops. Something massive is here.
9. Victory — Defeat Subject Alpha. The screen fades. It's over.
