Streetlights blink as you open the app and the map of Fort Wayne unfolds beneath your thumb. The game drops you into familiar blocks turned unfamiliar — a library that suddenly hides a clue, a market stall that doubles as a supply cache — and asks you to think like a survivor. It’s less about running and more about reading the city: patterns of streets, public art, and storefronts become checkpoints that reward curiosity and quick planning.
