Game capture from the September 2025 archive. A retrospective illustration of the early concept phase, not an image of the state in spring 2025.

  • Gravity and perspective were already central. A narrative framework and different spatial states were added.
  • The terms instinct, reason and control used at the time were intended to connect game mechanics and design.
  • Light, sound and the player character were meant to convey information from the world. Much of this was still at the planning stage.
  • The concept funding application was submitted on 8 May 2025. Its goals and planned scope of work had to be described clearly.
  • The concept was broad. Later development would have to show which parts actually worked.
  • The old pages document that phase. Historical terms and planned features have changed since then and do not form a current feature list.
