Field notes
The world description links each of twelve shadow-regions to a clock position, and says turning the sundial changes both routes and enemies. Combat details include four named styles—Gnomon, Hourhand, Chime, and Umbrist—and parries that must land on the beat; the page also describes a hidden door available only after the eclipse breaks. A closed-playtest form requests an email and platform, with invitations described as arriving in waves.
