Your mission: lead a group of civilians out of a war-torn country. Your odds of survival: play your cards right and you'll live to see another day!

You and the others were living normal lives in a small city in the heart of a prosperous nation when occasional clashes between separatists and the government dissolved into all-out conflict. Now you're caught in the middle of a war zone as a deadly struggle turns the country into a wasteland. You and the others might not be soldiers - but you can survive!

Getting out alive won't be easy, though. While you'll be able to avoid the battlegrounds, you'll encounter other survivors - and you'll never know what their intentions are. Your choices will include hiding, attacking, negotiating, or engaging in trade, and you'll always want to think twice because the lives of the entire group will be at stake.

To increase the odds of survival, you'll need to make good decisions. You can take only five people with you, so your first task will be choosing the right squad mates. Some of the survivors are good at providing first aid, others are excellent negotiators and still others have a way with technology.

As you make your way across a sprawling landscape, your team will be represented by tokens on the map. You'll interact with the game through cleverly written dialog trees and then observe card-style battles that resolve themselves according to how well you led the operation.

Plan your route well, carefully select your actions and improve the skills that will apply to your survival strategy, and you and the others will soon be free!
