Field notes
A day runs from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m.; players choose actions and moods while tracking hunger, warmth, energy, and sanity. At night they spend earnings on food, drinks, gear, practice, and a place to sleep; surviving seven days lets them continue with earned gear. The developer says the premise draws on hitchhiking experiences and an early writing gig that paid $12. Guest play is offered, while online poem storage and contest entry require an email sign-in.
