Publish or Perish - E5b: The Silent Heath

The survey team tries to shake off a lingering feeling of deja vu as the third day dawns bright and clear over Hemlock Isle. Wendy is shattered, her faith and family in ruins, but we can't stop to comfort her. The rest of the team knows that they haven't got much time if they hope to stop Mother Rachel's apocalypse, so they set out towards the place where it all began...to the crash site of the meteor that first unleashed the Color, and the place where it claimed its first victims...
...to the silent heath. Can they learn how to stop the unstoppable before it's too late?

I enjoy your videos. It would be helpful for the viewers if either in the description or the video proper there was clarification about why Hemlock House's Day 3 playthough seems to have been mulliganed. Thank you.

As requested, a quick explanation of this campaign's two timelines will be below! Spoilers for the finale, so if you haven't played it or watched episode 6a yet, do that first!
At the end of the Bad Ending of The Final Evening, it is possible to be consumed by the Color. This normally resets you to the beginning of the scenario and you start over again, viewing an alternate timeline where you fought Rachel instead of aiding her-but we realized that the inflection point between our party helping or hindering (or more specifically, WENDY helping or hindering) would come at the end of The Longest Night rather than during The Final Evening. So after the party was consumed by the Color, the alternate timeline where we (hopefully) have a chance at victory begins at the start of Day 3. Wendy's faith is shattered instead of firm, instead of doing chores for Rachel at Hemlock House we're investigating the origin of the Color itself, and when night falls we will try to stop Rachel's apocalyptic Feast.
Whether we succeed or not is another matter entirely.
(As an added bonus, rolling back to the start of the day meant getting to show off an additional scenario in our blind playthrough that we would not otherwise have gotten to play! Pure upside.)
