No.
Spinespure is hell.
Those "Civilians" are sort of... credit/ resources. ( You can eat them,
them, or just plain kill them, and get their stuff. ((Yeah, the bleep is intentional.... it means use your imagination... to put it mildly))
The game itself was no holds barred brutality on tabletop, and there was absolutely no mercy in the game, whatsoever. The game is a tabletop representation of horror mvoies/ mysterious settings, and Scooby doo on steroids while crazies with chainsaws gun for your minis/ to do you any amount of harm.
I have this game,
BTW. I had a real beef with these folks after their initial run, mainly because of the issue of their not having a unified goal on the game. they ended up peeing on their shoes with the game when it could have actually gone places.
The factions are all in there as a mafia sort of a thing, in hell. They are all led by different arch type horror movie/ monster arch types, such as Frankenstein, the devil, chainsaw welding hockey mask wearing unstoppable killing machine, femme fatales, an unlikely Undertaker, a 70s rock star, a criminal, a psychopath, a pig head wearing chainsaw welding butcher, a "Pope" from the church, as well as the rest of their right wing bible thumper generic arch types( I/E cultists) a "Living" graveyard, etc.etc.etc...... My all-time favorite was the "The Comedian/ Jeffery Dean Morgan."
The website is down, and the resources for the old game are gone as well, but the game itself was absolutely no holds barred adult content on the tabletop. The stories, the "Hurst Chronicles" were the absolutely best resource to get you into the setting, and there was more unsaid, and alluded to that gave you a real look at this game from the... ground, up.
Best advice for you? be the killer, not the killed.
Coming back doesn't help you much.
