How do you exit a dungeon? Rest all members? Game guide?
OK, when I find myself in a situation where I either exit the dungeon or there WILL be a wipe, how do I exit the dungeon?

I've gone back to the same room, and... nothing. No exit. Just asks me what room I want to go into.

I don't want to go into a room. I want to exit, rest, and buy more provisions.

Also, how do I rest ALL my party members? I've got them all recuperating, and the only option I have is to pull some out of the building they are in, and venture forth. I don't want to venture forth. I want to rest ALL of them.

And, is there a game guide we can downlaod?

Click on the white flag at the top left corner of the screen.

Time doesn't pass unless you go into the dungeons. In order for your party to rest, you need to have an active team of four heroes in a dungeon. So you can't have everyone resting. I mean, you can... but then time won't move forward, and your heroes will never recover.

Because of this, your first upgrades should focus almost exclusively on increasing your roster size (Hero Barracks in the Stage Coach). The more heroes you have, the less likely you are to find yourself in a position in which all need relief.

You could check out some of the Steam guides, but some might have outdated information.

Look for the white flag icon on the Top Left Screen, click it. That's how you retreat, if you mean complete a dungeon run, there should be a quest complete prompt that appears.

By Rest, I guess you mean remove Stress? Well there's some Stress Relief that gets passes around when heroes stay in town even if you don't put them in any sort of Stress Relief Building (Tavern/Church), the Stress Relief only applies after a week has passed. A week only passes if you do a dungeon run, so yeah you'll need to have a team to venture forth so the rest of the heroes can rest. Which is why the game heavily suggests against having just one go to team since what can be effective in one dungeon can possibly can't possibly be as effective in another.

If you want to look at Game Guides there are tons of guides here in Steam, just click the Guide Tab, it's on the left of the Reviews Tab and theright of the News Tab

You need to go to a dungeon to pass a week, which is required for the Stress Relief (and Quirk/Disease Treatment). If you want ALL of your heroes to rest, recruit 4 new heroes from the Stage Coach, send them with items only enough for a few rooms/battles, abandon before a wipe and perhaps dismiss stressed-out survivors. Idle heroes (those who spend a week without an activity) also heal for a very small amount of Stress.

I recommend this as a beginners' guide. It's not too new, but fun to read and still not outdated.

OK, I am not being clear enough -- I am at a boss fight. I have maybe 50% of the dungeon left. I have retreated from that fight. ALL 4 of my heroes are at a sliver of health. No food. No badages. No campfire wood. If I go back and fight the boss and his minions he summons evey fifteenth of a round, I WILL die.

How do I EXIT the dungeon so I can go purchase MORE supplies?

You can't go back to the Hamlet without abandoning a quest. It's either retreat or carry on, you don't get to pop back to town halfway through to pick up extra supplies.

That's fine, as long as I can heal up and purchase goods. If I have to restart the dungeon, that is fine.
