To help explain this: for each planet you beat, you are then expected to survive 1 night longer on the next planet. So if you survuved 1 night on planet A, you now need to spend 2 nights on planet B. You get to choose the order of A, B, C, and D, but no matter which path you take, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th nights become more difficult to survive. I b...
