Field notes
The game models survival through interacting material systems rather than a single abstract health meter: cold consumes a thermal budget, stored food rots, and neglected wounds worsen. Its ecological chain links a cleared slope to runoff, eroded soil, river silt, blocked fish passage, and a thinner field. The page names nine environments, including a boreal taiga and Chihuahuan scrub, and describes 221 craftable things across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro.
