Mini-FAQ
What counts as “permadeath” here?
One life per run. If I die, the character’s story ends and the next entry moves to the Graveyard or a new run begins.
How often are horde nights?
In-game as configured; posts feature one horde night per real-world week so the series flows cleanly.
What’s the time window for each post?
Each entry covers 4:00–4:00 in-game time, matching how I track progress and trader hours. The only exception is the first day, which starts at 7am when you load in.
