Nightbound

The Bloom has decimated the world, and when night falls, it hunts down the few remaining survivors. Loren has defended her family’s home since the Bloom’s arrival and doesn’t take kindly to Jun’s sudden appearance. But surviving means working side by side, and if they are going to make it to the mountain up North, they will need to put aside their differences and learn to trust each other.

When night falls, the Bloom comes. Fall back to your defenses and hold out until dawn in turn-based tactics, fighting as a pair. Interception fire means you don’t wait for your turn to shoot. Walk into an enemy’s sights and they’ll fire as you move. Aim by hand. Use cover.

The better Jun and Loren know each other, the more they can do together. Bonds are moves that take two. End your turn beside a hurt partner and you’ll patch each other up. Take your shot, and your partner fires at the same target right behind you.

The days are yours to spend together, and the closer you get, the more the two of you can pull off at night. Search the house with her. Miss at wall ball and she laughs at you. Bring her bugs for the beetles and she jumps for joy. Clear out the spores the night left behind and board the windows back up, because anything you leave open the Bloom will use after dark.

However comfortable the old house gets, you both know safety lies in moving on. Get the van running, then pack it. Whatever goes into the van is what you fight with at night, and with limited space, every choice counts.
