== Notable differences from most Roguelikes ==
[[Category:Open ended roguelikes]]
* Survivors are fragile and die easily, including the player, even at high level.
* As the gameplay focus on staying alive and attending to your basic needs, killing enemies is secondary rather than the priority.
* You can recruit a party of fellow survivors to help you and you can order them around, but will have to take care of them.
* The game world is dynamic and always evolving. The game can simulate what happened in places your character was not present.
