- The party shares a 10-bar Bandwidth meter; strong actions spend more, and each turn restores three bars.
Field notes
The story is delivered through timestamped messages from four friends, with named locations such as Shallow Inbox and Guestbook Shoals. The battle display gives Bandwidth a 10-bar capacity, restores three bars each turn, and shows Link Up becoming available when the meter fills. The page also claims a release on PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC, though the extracted evidence does not confirm platform availability.
