CASE FILE / SSS-063

Snowline Supply Station Text Survival Mystery

You wake above the snowline in an unmanned supply station. The radio says the missing team is three hundred meters away, but every footprint points inward.

How it plays

Snowline Supply Station uses the shared browser-side engine, but its interface is a route board built around weather windows, marker trust, rescue signal, and physical route safety. You manage Heat, Battery, Food, Visibility, Rescue Signal, Evidence, and Storm pressure while deciding which call deserves rescue resources.

The Action Deck shows costs and blockers before each commitment. Evidence can come from footprints, roster records, Marker 03, the cable station, the crevasse GPS trace, the snow cave, and the weather tower. Final routes ask whether the coordinates, cable escape, snow cave rescue, or forged marker proof are ready.

  • Run length: 30-40 minutes
  • Resources: heat, battery, food, visibility, rescue signal, evidence, storm
  • Recorded outcomes: Rescue Success, Cable Evacuation, Snow Cave Rescue, Burn the Snow Marker, White Line Lost, New Name on the Roster

Case summary

Case file SSS-063 begins in a high mountain supply station during a blizzard. The stove is out. The radio receives calls from missing team members who claim they can see the station. The problem is physical: the footprints at the door point into the station, not toward it.

The mystery advances through contradictions that can be checked. The passphrase is almost right. Marker 03 appears reversed. The weather log loses half an hour. A wet uniform hangs inside the cable station. The GPS breadcrumb points toward a snow cave the radio voices keep avoiding.

Routes and risk

The station route keeps the body alive through stove work, rations, and route planning. The marker route tests whether the official arrow has been forged. The cable route can become a gray evacuation. The crevasse and snow cave route can locate the missing team if Heat and Visibility remain safe enough.

Evidence gaps are repairable because you can return to the station table and deepen route work. Physical safety failures are stricter: depleted Heat, low Visibility, dead Battery in sealed weather, or trusting the wrong voice can close the final board into a failure outcome.

Route board

The topology panel is styled as a rescue route board. It shows Station, Marker, Cable, Crevasse, Rescue, and Report progress with six outcome records. The route board is not only a location map; it tells you which final route has enough proof and which one is physically unsafe.

Use the Rescue Log for the latest action, resource, evidence, and autosave records. The newest record appears first so the most recent consequence is visible while you are choosing the next route.
