Landing page captured for the 2026-08-28 issue.

Field notes

The project organizes its fictional setting as a dead company's internal operating structure, with each game assigned to a department and an asset code. STEELYARD is described as a quarterly territorial strategy game, while SORT SQUADRON is marked as a running prototype; the remaining projects range from an idle speedrun to a care simulation and deduction game. The page also distinguishes fixed material from open concepts, and explicitly gives no release date.
