The rescues
- Ruth: stop with your headlights OFF for two seconds.
- Elias: stop with headlights ON for three seconds. He repairs 25 car health once per night.
- June: stop dark for four seconds to help her aboard.
- Pickup points change every night, and the signs change with them.
Surviving the road
- Damage scales with impact, and crashes cut your top speed and acceleration.
- Brake for bends and pass red-marked traps on their open side.
- LEFT is shorter; RIGHT has extra traps and a Dead-air Relay that repairs up to 20 health and gives a receiver cell.
- SEND PULSE spends a cell to break a pursuit for six seconds; or save it and hide at a lantern shelter.
- Each survivor earns 1,000 points, with bonuses for car health and a quick escape.
