Field notes
The publication uses a numbered filing metaphor throughout: a cover field test, five briefing files, a guide desk, and a rotating reader index. Its current issue lists six games, including Antenna Valley, Copper Choir, and Low Tide Protocol, with formats ranging from reviews to systems notes and guides. The homepage also exposes reading times of 8–14 minutes and a browser-only preference tool where readers select the qualities that make a difficult game worth their patience.
