Uncs Trade the S&P 500
A playable monochrome comic about a couch-bound uncle, a flip phone, and an extremely ordinary index.
Field notes
The experience is organized as a four-part broadcast rather than a conventional article: a flip-phone message moves the story from the living room to an improvised garage desk and back to the couch. Its archive contains 20 monochrome crops, while the interface borrows from fax sheets, beige computers, and command-line labels. The page distinguishes its fictional “buy the haystack” sequence from actual finance software, stating that it neither connects to a broker nor executes trades.
