Core gameplay loop

How a standard GRAIN ROT session flows from Outpost to elevator and back.

  1. 1

    Prepare at the Outpost

    Repair rooms, cure rot, and pick upgrades using the Outpost hub before anyone enters the cursed elevator.

  2. 2

    Descend and loot ruins

    Smash furniture for scrap, grab glowy artifacts, and follow the extraction run guide so noise does not spiral.

  3. 3

    Grind gold under pressure

    Feed high-value loot into the Grinder when anchors hold doors — details in Grinder & loot loop.

  4. 4

    Extract before total wipe

    If every vessel breaks, loot is lost. Use Co-op Spark mechanics to rescue allies and board early.

  5. 5

    Reinvest and go deeper

    Spend gold on room priority upgrades and roll artifacts via the Outpost Upgrade Planner.
