Field notes
The page describes three settings—dinosaurs, animals, and bugs—and a “Look closer” pause menu for enlarging any of 78 letter creatures, replaying a movement, and reading a short fact. Keyboard position controls both distance and side of the scene; special keys add small interactions, including an egg hatch on Enter and an undo-like walk home on Delete. A timed session is described as dimming toward sleep, while device-voice reading depends on an offline English voice being available.
