A shared game universe about abandoned mining robots, a bankrupt corporation, and the administrative systems still keeping a desert planet operational.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-29 issue.

Field notes

The project organizes five games as departments inside a failed mining company on Asset 9. Its fiction runs through operational details: a solar storm cuts the relay, robots continue their assigned work, and a player-character occupies a job absent from every register. Steelyard is the most developed entry described, using sector boundaries and legal claims as its strategic machinery; the remaining games range from a running puzzle prototype to two unnamed concepts.
