The game develops really slow and it doesn't look like your choices matter. Nothing is happening: just small changes in the lower row of numbers...

The main focus of the game is managing your resources (the numbers/icons on the bottom of the screen). In order to gain resources you must go on "runs" by sending out your runners to various locations that offer different rewards and danger levels.
