Chapter Walkthrough

The convoy carrying grandpa's coffin is cut in half by something unnamed. Tutorial: grab, breathe, dock. You will die exactly once in 30 minutes — on purpose.

• ▸ Loot every tutorial scrap — each is worth a later minute
• ▸ First suffocation is scripted, panic optional
• ▸ The coffin is not set dressing, it's your base — realize it early

The main debris field. Objective: the mortuary airlock. The bottle-vs-grabber ratio argument starts here and never stops. First floating bodies — loot or avert, your first fake moral choice.

• ▸ Two bottles minimum before any EVA
• ▸ Junction boxes cluster near bodies (series tradition)
• ▸ A save point sits before the airlock — the series' only manual one

Cabins and corridor maze. Coffin plating graduates from "upgrade option" to "clear condition" here. Crew tags appear in flocks — lore-runner territory.

• ▸ A door that won't open means plating, not ramming harder
• ▸ Ice water is strategic this chapter
• ▸ End-of-chapter-2 backtrack: pre-hoarded tags craft the decoder early

Cargo hold and bridge, a double region. The scanner is near-mandatory. The crew-log truth closes its circle — if you've been reading, the silence here gets loud.

• ▸ Scanner before any exploring
• ▸ Batteries sit deep in the hold — the thruster pays off now
• ▸ With the decoder in, re-read logs at every chapter close

[DAY-TWO REPORTS] The final leg toward the signal. Straight in for the normal end; hidden end needs decoder + all tags (see achievements). Whether the final shot "changes" depends on having read the dead.

• ▸ [RECON] Hidden-end flag fires before the last dialogue
• ▸ Oxygen stops mattering — walk the last stretch fully equipped
• ▸ Don't skip the credits: a stinger follows
