The game has multiple chapters, and each of them has a similar structure of main plot and side quests. If any hero dies during the round, they suffer a penalty, but can be revived in the next round. As long as one of you is still alive, you still have a chance to win. The chapters are all standalone and not contingent on being played in a certain order or with the same players.
The board game significantly broadens the original game’s universe and emphasizes the depth of the plot, yet its main focus is on interaction driven by game stories and decision making.
