Players stay in a safe workshop, repairing survivors' weapons, sorting supplies, and packing backpacks within weight limits instead of fighting.
The workshop is the whole game. Survivors bring back wooden crates and backpacks, and the player picks each item up, clears out what is unneeded, and shelves the rest. A visible TO-DO list sets chores like "tidy up the clutter" and "pack items into the backpack," and the trailer shows supplies moving from a backpack to storage shelves.
Weapons get the same treatment. Barrels come off, bolts get replaced, scopes get adjusted, and assembly runs through multiple parts such as the gun body and magazine rather than a single button press. Packing is a weight puzzle: survivors request water, food, and weapons, and backpacks have limits on both space and weight. The developer says it paid particular attention to the sound of canned goods fitting onto a shelf. Workshop upgrades and conversations with survivors also carry weight, according to the developer.
