Field notes
The page names four Sitters and gives each a distinct ability: Marta ripens an object, Jorrit removes a rotten part from an ally, Lysbeth ages an enemy, and Abel pauses the candle. Its sample encounter tracks four objects across three turns, with a preservation choice changing what advances. The page lists a demo festival in December 2026 and a full release target in spring 2027.
