    {
      "q": "How long is the campaign?",
      "a": "Chapter 1 is available now and runs about 90 to 180 minutes. It is the first of a planned three-chapter campaign; Chapters 2 and 3 are not out yet. Each chapter is a self-contained descent through part of the tower, and a save code at the end of Chapter 1 will carry your company and their choices into the next chapter when it releases."
    },
    {
      "q": "Do I need to play The Toll at Blackbridge first?",
      "a": "No. The Severed Spire stands alone and teaches what you need as you climb. Blackbridge is a shorter tutorial for the same Ironquill system, so it is a gentle warm-up, but it is not required."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can I play the whole thing solo?",
      "a": "Yes. Built for one or two players, the campaign runs solo with the AI as game master handling every character but yours. With two players you share a company and split the tower's decisions between you."
    },
    {
      "q": "What carries between chapters?",
      "a": "Your characters, their injuries, gear, and the choices you made. A save code at the end of each chapter encodes that state; paste it to begin the next chapter, in the same AI or a different one, with your history intact."
