Field notes
Rumor Engine is presented as a browser game in which a player plants a whisper and follows it as people retell it; each version can alter the story and the town. The studio lists 100 strategy and simulation levels and support for English, Chinese, and Japanese. The page says the game is free and ad-free. Sobincraft describes public comments as forthcoming and says other games and practical tools are still on its workbench.
