- Cooperative play and role-light control — Solo players control two characters; in multiplayer, control may be shared; strategy revolves around protecting teammates and prioritizing goals.
- Guide deck and mission book — A non-shuffled guide deck directs mission chapters, maps, and setup; the mission book provides briefs and map layouts specific to each mission.
- Intel, Plan and Event steps — Intel actions reveal information about threats; Plan actions draw and manage future cards; Event steps trigger crises and events that alter the board.
- Movement and space interaction — Move one space per strength; terrain, doors, and elevation affect travel; threat tokens and enemies influence path choice.
- Threat tokens and enemy management — Face-down threat tokens reveal when adjacent or on spaces; shapes indicate different threat types; enemies spawn via crisis/events and via spawn spaces.
