Moonrake Links · Every Stroke Rewrites the Garden
A portrait-first six-hole miniature-golf game staged in a moonlit porcelain garden. Pull backward from the ball and release. Banking shots awaken lanterns that open gates and rewrite each hole.
BRIEFLOOM
**Every Finished Brief Rewrites the Desk**
CALLSHIFT: Every Answer Rewrites the Manual
A portrait-first delayed-message strategy puzzle. One selected signal enters BOOK now, translates on the next beat, and reaches HAND one beat later. The command already in HAND executes first and rotates the decoder before BOOK translates, so every correct answer rewrites the meaning of the next queued message.
TAGTRAIL: Every Tag Rewrites the Next Chase
TAGTRAIL is an original simultaneous tag-physics duel. Every departure repaints the street: the Hunter leaves **Bounce**, the Runner leaves **Slide**, and one physical contact swaps who is “IT.” The player is not merely choosing where to move. Each chase writes the movement law for the next chase.
TAILSWITCH: Every Train Rewrites the Yard
`TAILSWITCH` is a portrait-first fine-pixel railway dispatch puzzle about
LUXAXIS
**Every Angle Rewrites Three Rays.**
SEALBOUND — Every Victory Rewrites the Deck
SEALBOUND is a touch-first, six-seal roguelite deckbuilder set inside a dying ritual archive. Every foe publishes its next action. The player spends three Ink to answer, carries Life across encounters, adds one card after each victory, and chooses between a restorative Moon Stair or a card-upgrading elite Red Stair.
PALIMOTH · Every Shelf Rewrites What Remains
PALIMOTH is a standalone portrait-first logic game set inside a living miniature archive. Each of four law-shelves accepts books bearing its current house mark. Sealing that shelf removes the matching books, then applies its published permutation to every book still loose on the cart.
Copperleaf Press: Every Pull Rewrites the Garden
An original portrait-first deterministic botanical engine-builder. Graft a living specimen into a 4×3 copperplate, optionally swap one neighbouring pair, inspect the exact proof, and pull the roller. The plate resolves top-to-bottom and left-to-right; early specimens physically rewrite the value of cells the roller has not reached.
ARCGLASS · Every Throw Rewrites the Wind
A complete portrait-first flying-disc arcade duel. Drag from your runner and release into the glass court. Catch every return by moving the runner under the disc. Cut curves hard, Float remains inside wind longer and Hammer travels fast. Crossing a wind lantern applies its real vector and rotates that lantern ninety degrees, permanently changing every later throw in the match.
Changeover: Every Cut Rewrites the Show
An original deterministic fine-pixel projection-booth game. Seven film programs arrive as labeled physical segments. The player permanently splices those segments across Projector A and Projector B, configures focus, carbon-lamp density and sound-drum offset, threads the exact film path, starts both motors and blowers, then advances the live screening frame by frame. Reel A ends on a first cue; advancing again without a valid changeover sends white leader to the audience. Wrong order, a decoy segment, bad focus, bad density, broken lip sync or closed airflow remains causal when that state reac
AETHERFAUNA: Every Arrival Rewrites the Ark
AETHERFAUNA is an original portrait-first inspection and spatial-ecology game. Read only the clues you can afford, then admit each arriving mythical creature to one of three living berths. Its Gift alters the ark's vital currents, its Wake may chain with the berth's previous resident, and its Strain can push the whole sanctuary toward Discord.
CARECODE: Every Happy Home Rewrites the Block
CARECODE is an original portrait-first order puzzle about shared comfort. Five stable residents publish both a three-bit need and a physical public vote. A resident may be signed only when the block's current `Light · Air · Sound` code matches that exact need; the accepted service then XOR-flips the systems named by that resident's vote. Every act of care therefore authors the conditions faced by everyone still waiting.
BLACKLETTER · Every Redaction Rewrites Every Oath
BLACKLETTER is a complete portrait-first executable-redaction puzzle. Every witness owns an immutable direction ribbon and an independent five-by-five illuminated court. Strike one word in the lexicon and every occurrence of that identity is removed from every ribbon. Later folios grant one finite gold exception: touch one already-black token and that exact occurrence speaks while all of its twins remain silent.
Cinnabar Orrery
A one-touch precision arcade game about pinning stars into a living lacquer orrery. Complete 24 authored charts across four mechanical volumes.
REFRACTURE: Every Relic Rewrites the Ray
REFRACTURE is an original real-time 3D roguelike shooter built around a physical, ordered firing line. Every drafted relic occupies one of six visible sockets. A trigger pull is compiled from left to right, so the same collection produces materially different weapons when reordered.
LUXAXIS: Every Angle Rewrites Three Rays
**Every Angle Rewrites Three Rays.**
WALLPUCK: Every Rebound Rewrites the Arena
WALLPUCK is a deterministic buildable air-hockey tactics game. Install finite Pulse or Hook modules into physical rink sockets, then control an exact-lane mallet while the puck resolves integer depth, lane, direction, lateral momentum, wall banks, module durability and public Keeper reactions.
Palimpsest Heist
A portrait-first museum deckbuilder. Spend three energy each turn to steal historical fragments, control the alarm, delay the approaching guard, and add permanent specialist cards between three floors.
VAULTFORGE: Capacity Rewrites the Guard
A standalone, portrait-first Minecraft inventory-autobattler remix inspired by Iron Chests.
Palimpsest Apothecary
A self-contained portrait diagnosis and recipe-planning game. Serve this folder with any static HTTP server and open `index.html`; no build or external assets are required.
Blackwater Almanac
An original portrait-first woodcut fishing roguelite. Guide the hook on descent, then manage line tension through a moving safe current on return. Every catch changes the following tide.
Ink Armada · Every Gate Rewrites the Fleet
An original ink-wash arithmetic-gate strategy runner. Drag the fleet through addition or multiplication currents, then pay the resulting ships in four attritional battles and a final flagship duel.
BLACKLETTER · Every Redaction Rewrites Every Oath
BLACKLETTER is a complete portrait-first executable-redaction puzzle. Every witness owns an immutable direction ribbon and an independent five-by-five illuminated court. Strike one word in the lexicon and every occurrence of that identity is removed from every ribbon. Later folios grant one finite gold exception: touch one already-black token and that exact occurrence speaks while all of its twins remain silent.
