Possibilities:
1. They were bullshitting and were never seriously trying to reach the location they marked with the beacon.
3. They reached the tower and never showed us. Then went past it.
2. They changed destinations but never told us.
I'm pretty confident that the place on the map is the place where they ended the demo, which means they went way past the tower they marked at the beginning. All of the landmarks line up too perfectly.
But they ended at a much more interesting place:
![]()
;D
Maybe we'll see that bridge before it was all destroyed to shit :O
