How does this tie into the theme?:
We didn't want to be on the nose with the "risk it for a biscuit" theme so we took a different approach. The risk vs reward in WOODLAND very much stems from gaining the courage, and risking the sanity to leave your tower and enable the relays, significantly speeding up your progress to the main goal.
If that wasn't enough, the main upload data is an acronym: B.I.S.C.U.I.T!
Tutorial:
Main Goal:
The main goal is to upload the B.I.S.C.U.I.T data to your employer, progress of this can be seen in the computer via the "Upload" app. You can only speed this up by activating relays.
Relays:
Relays are the only way to increase your upload progress, you can find codes to activate relays via the "relay.codes" command, requiring you to then leave the tower, find the associated relay and correctly input the code - enabling the tower and increasing upload progress for a small period of time.
Survival:
Food, Water and Sanity are extremely important resources to keep track of and will not be able to be tracked outside your tower. Ensure you return to your tower regularly to restock on supplies like batteries, food and water.
You cannot recover sanity, but sanity is lowered significantly faster when outdoors or if you have pending events.
Food, water and batteries can be purchased at the shop in the computer for money you gain via completing "Documents" in the computer. Batteries aren't required, but if you use your flashlight too sparingly, you'll end up needing them.
After ordering supplies a drone will drop them off by the base of your tower, requiring you to bring the supplies up to the room before unpacking them.
Power:
Can catch you off guard when you least expect it. Play too safe or forget about errant events and your generator might blow a fuse, requiring you to find it in the dark and re-enable it.
