Limited ways out
Where should extraction be allowed?
Selected direction
The direction
Extraction should not be available at any moment. Use limited extraction opportunities - designated exits, safe points, special exits or similar checkpoints - so leaving feels like a real decision. A rare emergency-extraction mechanic could exist later. The intended tension is: leave with what I have, or push deeper and risk losing it?

The original question’s prompt
Any time, only between waves, at special exits, or after a guardian/depth clear?
Examples in a prompt are not decisions unless the answer chooses them.Still to decide in this chapter
Exact modifier combinations, a possible one-item insurance mechanic, rare emergency extraction and Cozy/Brave reward ratios still need tuning.
