Field notes
Play uses a mouse: the stream arcs toward each book, soak gauges rise, and books deploy defenses such as parasols, page-tearing, or escape attempts. The page also describes a shared daily challenge whose grade players can beat and share, plus ten individually illustrated rooms and quotation-identification tasks. Its instructions distinguish real quotations from two forgeries, making literary recognition part of the score rather than just decoration.
