What to study

The same node screen, read at a worse moment, and the layout is how the game says no. The condition word over the dice has slipped from stable to FLICKERING, and the left card is closed off by two stacked red banners, LOCKED ACTION and SKILL UPGRADE REQUIRED, with a padlock where the dice slot would go: the refusal is typographic before it is mechanical, and it names its own remedy (the INTERFACE skill, upgraded). The right card shows the opposite state in the same grammar, AMBER HULL REPAIRS already stamped ACTION COMPLETE, its flavour text switched to yellow to mark it as outcome rather than offer. Between the cards, progress lives in the two segmented clocks along the bottom, SHIPSHAPE filling in yellow segments toward +, GROUNDED edging into red toward −: one ring per storyline, readable at a glance from across the map, positive and negative pressure given identical geometry so the eye compares them without reading a word. Even the sparse ITEMS strip, a single icon, counted 12, tells the survival story. Frame at about 0:20 in the Out Now Trailer (Steam), a scene-change survivor at 19.59s, inspected at full resolution (1920x1080).
