About the Game

Play as the last remaining survivors attempting to escape a deadly alien infestation on the Hyperion, a futuristic advanced modular colony built on Planet X. You must navigate through the colony to find and modify the coordinates of the Teleport Pad to escape. All of the remaining survivors must escape before the teleport pads are removed from the game.

The game is divided into 3 simple phases. The first phase is the action phase. During this phase, you must do two of the following:

1- Reveal: this is when you reveal tiles based on the number of doors your current room contains. 2- Move: Move your survivor to an orthogonally adjacent tile. 3- Unlock: unlock any temporarily locked tiles. 4- Rest: discard 1 tile to rest. You will not have the chance to do a second action.

The second phase is the enemy movement phase. Move the stalkers 1 space (orthogonally) towards the nearest player.

The third phase is the lockdown phase. Discard any temporarily locked tiles from the game board.

The game ends when: A- All the survivors escape together B- You discard all of the Console tiles without modifying all of the coordinates C- You discard all of the Teleport Pad tiles. D- You run out of tiles to place.
