Hunger & Exhaustion

Hunger and exhaustion sit alongside warmth as the meters that kill you.

Food comes from hunting and scavenging; cooking converts it into something that actually sustains a run.

Exhaustion caps expedition length, which indirectly caps how deep you can go.

Mechanics

• Hunting supplies both food and the hides used for clothing upgrades.
• Carry weight is a real constraint — the dog exists partly to solve it.
• Treat food as expedition fuel, not as inventory filler.
