It’s a game about cycles: of work, rest, and disappearance. People arrive, are consumed, and returned—like waves cresting and collapsing. You tend to them, but the machine is never satisfied; it drains and watches, punishing those who pause. Some sink, some rise again, some vanish forever. Your task isn’t to win, but to prolong survival against an endless hunger. It is a ritual of balance, a fragile dance between energy and erosion.
