Field notes
Each title can be tried in the browser, where the page says saves remain in that browser, or kept as a single terminal-running file for Windows, macOS, or Linux. The page lists eight games and provides eight short “real play from the browser versions” episodes; their captions describe specific scenes, from solving two paintings by stepping into a shadow to racing through neon streets. Riley Marsden is credited as the maker. The page also mentions one-click expansions and journey codes.
