What to study

The game's second face: away from the surface siege, the HUD becomes a party screen. Portraits with unit counts (44, 3, 33, 12, 15, 16) turn the bottom bar into a roster, the minimap swaps territory shading for X waypoints, and the cave vignette narrows vision to the escort route itself. The objective names its cargo (Pequod, the Juggernaut Bug), which is the mission design in one line: protect a single named unit through a constrained space. The economy panel stays present but quiet (growth 25 per day, consumption 0), showing how the same HUD re-weights itself between modes. Manually extracted at 0:40 in the Gameplay trailer 10.2024 (Steam) from the dense filmstrip audit. Disclosure: a small in-game 0.9.28 dev build watermark is visible in the bottom-left corner; no trailer captions appear on the frame.
